Well back home form hospital with everything over and a big bag of pills to pop. Everything went well and I feel fine, maybe a wee bit light headed but only slightly. This is what happened.
Once settled in and bloods take, the cannula fitted i had priton and hydrocortisone injected the saline drip for around half an hour, then the first bag of ritixumab 95mg to be precise. Then tablet form fluradabine and chlorambusal along with anti nausea tablets aciclover and some others I can't remember. Then sleep
Following day, more bloods then same routine only 500mg ritixumab this time. After a cople of hours and I felt fine I was allowed home with the bag of pills and my instructions.
Today I had my last set of fluradabine and chlorambusal pills and that's me for the month.
The surprising thing for me was the blood reults.
before treatment on Tuesday morning WBC 117.2. Neutrophils 4.1. Platelets. 157 heamoglobin 137
Before treatment on Wednesday WBC. 56. Neutrophils 6.1. Platelets. 127. heamoglobin. 133.
I didn't expect the WBC to drop so significantly over the first night. Anyway so far so good and I feel good no side effects YET.
Take care everyone Billy
