I am very grateful for this good report:
My platelets were pretty low, just over the threshold for moving forward with treatment. We were nervous for a bit they would send us home, but we were able to proceed as planned.
Hemoglobin was stable with just a slight dip and so no transfusion was needed.
I did not have a negative reaction to the Rituximab. They took it very slow, which made for a long day. Premedications to avoid a reaction wiped me out, but overall everything went well.
We met with my hematologist/oncologist who gave a favorable report that all is as expected.
I report back for day 2 at 1 on Wednesday.
Thanks for support and prayers! 🥰
