More cyclops

Mixed news today from my visit to the hospital. Positive news: signs are good for my recovery. Nerve damage has now bottomed out and she is hopeful. Bloods and urine all good.

Now to keep the PAN at bay I have been told I will have to face 6 months more of chemotherapy. Because I am "off plan" for Rituximab, and my ESR and CRP markers do not mirror my neurological symptoms, and as PAN is ANCA negative it appears that Rituximab is a big fat no, and that some of symptoms are contradictory.

6 months more chemo then, but I'll take all of that over PAN any day of the week.

I guess that's (our) life Wellsie. Some days good, some bad. I'm ANCA neg too and my Rheumy says "No" to Rituximab so, if I need "the big guns" it will be chemo too.

You seem a strong person though, judging by your comments on here. So, drag yourself up by your bootstraps and "soldier on". You've been there before; you can do it again.

Am crossing all my fingers and toes for you! Your posts have really helped me hang in through the bad days, and do something positive on the good ones. Thank you.
