HDMP impressive result so far!

Here I am on a quiet Sunday afternoon watching Atlanta tear up the Seahawks in NFL playoffs, and am getting bored so thought I would summarize the past week during which I received Rituxan the first day and high dose methylprednisolone (steroid) daily for 5 days, as per planned protocol. I tolerated the steroid pretty well, some insomnia, big appetite, felt like in a fog much of the time, was hard to work some days.
Also on prophylactic antibiotics no other issues. Did need RBC and platelet transfusions on Thursday and Friday.

So look at the dramatic change in lymph node size, over just this week!

Amazing huh, now to get weekly Rituxan X 3 more and then next phase....
