My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Hello you

Five hours in the big blue chair today and its almost done.

I entered the ward this morning to be greeted warmly by all the nurses with big smiles. They remembered my name. Strangely comforting.

In for a “grease and oil change “I said in a lame attempt at humor. They chuckled, didn’t deserve a chuckle.

My second maintenance dose of rituximab has been pretty uneventful. I feel a bit off but that’s about it. Hot and a little flushed. I will be better tomorrow.

10 more to go over the next 2 years. Scans last week confirmed my remaining scar tissue has all but disappeared and the Drs are really happy.

Medical interventions are starting to diminish and I have one last new thing to do which is a stem cell harvest on the 12 th of November. It’s like insurance I have been told and harvesting the stem cells is easy, it’s putting them back that sucks. I hope that is never needed.

All good.
