But you look so well
Before I went on the cruise I had a ulcer in my left eye because of dry eyes due to Sjogren syndrome and I was also waiting to have
Rituximab
when I return from the cruise (which I have had now). I have damaged lungs (Pulmonary Fibrosis) caused by the lupus or MCTD.

Do immunosuppressants and sushi mix?
However when I came home my tummy was doing stunts and show and I was up all night I’m not sure if Imagined this having this conversation when I started taking
rituximab
infusion but I think I'm meant to stay away from sushi (or perhaps I am thinking about a tv show referring to pregnant women)

Treatment Needed?
Hi All, My last CBC report (03 days back) was very depressing. My WBC has raised to almost 2 hundred thousand (200,000). RBC still just above 4 and HG just above 12. ALC 98% (198). But still no significant weight loss. night sweat, lymph nodes are there. One of my oncologist is of the view that now should

Trouble swallowing
My rheumatologist has treated me with an immunosuppressant infusion called mabthera (drastic substance called
rituximab
) this July and my skin has softened somewhat. On the other hand, I have trouble swallowing and keeping good down. The worst is a choking feeling.

Lupus and the sweats
I do have lupus nephritis and recently had
rituximab
treatment. Unfortunately I had lots of pain during my second infusion. I got upset and the treatment was stopped. I was sent home with no guidance on my next steps in treatment.

Husband returning to treatment
After 10 months of well-managed anemia (PRCA), using cyclosporine, my husband's WBC is rising, and he's likely to need CLL treatment again (he had 2 rounds of FCR 2 years ago). We're looking for CLL treatment options that will be less likely to trigger the anemia/blood transfusions.

Update on Rituximab
A proportion of the test group have seen lasting improvement, so not a cure all but B cell depletion has some promise. How large a proportion are of the phenotype which responds is still in the ongoing research http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27813-antibody-wipeout-found-to-relieve-chronic-fatigue-syndrome.html

Today, I joined CLLSA
I was in a 'wait and watch' situation until May 2015, when I became part of a Randomized Phase III Study of Bendamustine plus
Rituximab
versus Ibrutinib plus
Rituximab
versus Ibrutinib alone in untreated older patients [I will be 69 in mid-August] with CLL. I am on the Ibrutinib only arm.

Rituximab hailed as a breakthrough for millions with Chronic Fatigue
Rituximab
wipes out most of the body's B-cells, which are the white blood cells that make antibodies.

What next?
Methotrexate made me unbelievably sick, sulpha didn't work, allergic reaction to
rituximab
and toxi(something or other by infusion I can't remember!!!!!!!!!!!) and now leflonamide is doing absolutely nothing! I have arthritis in every joint and it is just getting steadily worse.

Why they draw 10 tubes of our bloods and comments on chemo from patients
Friends, This week the CLL Society Inc. finally learned why they need so much blood of ours every time we are seen at a research center. We learned what a biorepository is and how it is changing how CLL research is done. Donna Neuberg, Sc. D. from Dana Farber Cancer Institute is the director of biostatistics

Low Platelets
I have just completed my fifth year in remission following four rounds of FCR (2009/10). My latest clinic appointment yesterday showed no significant enlarged nodes, lymphocytes 1.58 and all other blood results well in the normal range except for platelets. These now read 96 and were 112 in April
