New treatment approved in EU with promise R2 or Revlimid - Rituximab

Good to know, thanks John. I've got my final ritux in 2 weeks and am pretty nervous about finishing. 

Thanks for this John, the progress in drug development, especially non chemo types is amazing and will be a great encouragement for this starting out on their treatment journey and also for those like Tina who are well down the line.

Happy New Year Tina and I totally get your nervousness about your final treatment sos lets look for 2020 to be a very healthy and happy year for us all xx

Hi Tina, seasons greetings to you and Pat, I get the anxiety as treatment comes to an end and that safety blanket is removed, all I can advise is as each month passes it does get easier and if its 3 month check ups see that as reassurance. Hope its a long remission

John 

Thanks Mike and John

A happy and healthy New Year to you both as well and indeed to the rest of the online community.

Mike - Pat says hi!

Here's hoping the rapid treatment advances continue apace this year.

Best Wishes

Tina

And hi back to Pat Tina.

18 June 2018 is ingrained in my mind as the day I was Discharged from SCT Consultants care (57 months)

No more clinics, no appointments, no CTs just “get on with life and you know where we are” took a while to get used to the warm duvet being taken away - but it’s the best way as it takes away the scanxiety.

My Macmillan Nurse had a tear in her eye as she had walked the journey with us both - I still see her at our local Maggie’s for our Heamatology Support Group xx

Thanks John!  Nice to know and may be timely.  And it's orally adminstered too - something of an advantage if you're feeling like a walking pincushion!
