It was time to come into the BC Cancer agency for the next round of chemo. This time in addition to the Flubaradine I am getting infused with a an additional fuel or agent called Rituximab. I have discussed this drug in my previous blog entires. Because of possible allergic reactions it could be an 8 hour day or " slow drip " as they call it.
I had a check up and blood work done yesterday. My white blood count and lymphocytes have dropped by over 50%. Also my lymph nodes or tumours have shrunk considerably. So I am tolerating chemo and the results are promising.
Turned out that I tolerated the Retux without any incident or reaction so they sped up the drip and I was done in 6 hours. Just feeling very groggy but zero side effects.

Tomorrow my partner and I are off for a retreat to our favourite place Yellow Point Lodge.
Stay tuned for the next leg of the race as I will blogging as I go.
