Apparently like alot of other people I have had this for a while. Except when my blood work went bad, I have felt perfectly wonderful. Walking 4 miles a day, going to gym 4 times a week.
My lymph nodes onmy neck started to enlarge, went to a ENT who jump on it right away with a biopsy, the sent me to oncologist who did pet scan bone marrow biopsy.
It wasn't till he did Bone marrow that he decided to do chemo.
So its like this.
Predisone 40mg every morning.
allopurinol which is a medicine for gout to protect my kidneys.every morning.
Start Rituxan on Friday for the next four fridays
Then once every 3 or 6 months. The Doc hasn't decided I guess my blood work will tell.
I am nervous about starting Rituxan I have a very hard time taking new meds I am afraid of side effects. Eventhough I have never had a side effect from a medication. Just my anxiety.
Take care
