This time last year my FCR journey began ... what a year! We can do it!
A year ago today I began a chemo therapy journey to treat my leaukemia; a process that I faced blind, having no idea of what to expect or what the future might hold. There were ups and downs along the way but the positives far out weigh the negatives. So many walked along side me on my journey - many

Biologics on returning to UK
Having been through several biologics I am now on
Rituximab
which seems to be going okay so far, and would be reluctant to come back if it was stopped because my RA seemed to be under control. I keep reading posts which gives 'point scoring' - who decides on your points?

Lymph node pain in neck
I'm about to start on Thursday my 4th round of FCR. Just these last few days a lymph node on my collarbone has been very painful, so much so that I have had to prop my head up with a cushion to take the strain. Since starting FCR my lymph nodes were back to normal size as far as I could tell so I feel

Rituximab without MTX?
I have been informed today that the
Rituximab
cannot be approved if you don't take Methotrexate with it. Unfortunately I cannot tolerate MTX even at low doses so I'm stuck at the moment. Does anyone have
rituximab
without MTX?

I've just reviewed treatments and am more confused!
The range of medical opinions and videos, combined with and problems reading long posts at the moment (various reasons) are beginning to cause me some degree of anxiety, and adding to my confusion. So I'd like some straight, simple information, if possible. I'm failing to understand this completely despite

Rituximab and Tiredness
He was put on
Rituximab
about 3 months ago after trying other meds which made him sick. He has been complaining of being exhausted. Says he does his two hour walk in the morning and is no good for anything else for the rest of the day. Is this normal?

Mabthera (Rituximab)
I've just had the 2nd infusion (3 course) on Tuesday this week, but since then I seem to have gone down hill v quickly with possible side effects. I have had terrible stomach problems (stomach pain, gas, diah) and now feel totally dehyrdrated and needless to say 'fatigue' doesn't seem to be strong enough

2nd half-dose Ocrevus Infusion Completed
The fact that it is a close cousin to well-established Rituxan (
rituximab
) makes me quite comfortable with its newness to the market, and multi-year trials had very impressive outcomes overall with good safety profiles.

Post FCR
Two months after FCR. Dr. said my numbers should grow as the weeks progress. Started therapy due to low platelets, not high WBC. My whites are .09 and platlets 47. The lowest ever. There was a mention of left shift. Don't know what's going.

Rituximab
I'm still waiting for some answers to my question on how long does
Rituximab
take to work. I've been waiting over ten week without any success, any advice would be gratefully excepted. God bless you all.

Sleepless night
I understand with FCR that
rituximab
is the infusion which literally marks in advance the bad cells that the chemo needs to kill. So after my 1st session and follow up blood test my count is 149 to 1.9, brilliant but my neutrophils are 1.

Another week's delay
My other half started FCR 7 weeks ago, first course went without hiccup. Platelet levels initially spiked, but now steadily dropping (82 before treatment, then weekly readings of 73, 99, 103, 76, 67 and now 63). Lymphocytes way down (now 1.36 against 35.9 before treatment). Treatment now being delayed
