Nate had an appointment at Northwestern in October that was uneventful. His lab work is looking good and he will go back in 6 months, which will put him at 1 year post-transplant. He will also have a PET scan done before that visit.
He had his rituxan infusion today and saw the doctor. The infusion only took 3 hours- a new record. The doctor said the new recommendation from the MCL experts is rituxan every 2 months for 3 years instead of 2 years. He feels okay about that, just 3 years seems like a long time. Thankfully the rituxan doesn't cause side effects and is easy to tolerate. Please continue to pray that the rituxan does its thing and keeps the cancer away.
