It is always a game of wait and see after the Rituxan (Rituximab). Eric might feel well leaving the treatment and for hours after, but the the next day or the day after (or both) he's sick- like last week. Having now made it through Sunday and Monday with no signs of being sick, it seems safe to say Eric is just going to continue to feel well this week.
Dr. A ( ITP doctor/benign hematology) had some good news for Eric today. This past Saturday will be the last weekly Rituximab treatment. (Monthly chemo will continue). When Eric gets his blood work done on Wednesday of this week [when we see Dr. S (lymphoma)], Dr. A will take a look at the platelets to see if there's any other treatment needed at this time for the ITP.
All that's on the schedule for now: Wednesday- blood work and visit with Dr. S; Saturday and Sunday-- chemo. We are so hoping Eric won't get sick from the chemo this time.
We'll keep you posted after the Wednesday appointments.
