So all began well this morning--got to the doctor's office and settled in. Love the nurse - she is amazing (I'll call her Daisy!) and I really like the doctor too. He is attentive and very detailed. No fluff. I really felt taken care of.
Around late morning after they set me up and started on the first drug - Rituxan. I began to have a reaction a little itch here and there, and some burning and discomfort on my abdomen. Daisy came right over - She looked at my back and stomach and I was getting welts so they stopped that drug - set it aside and dosed me up with a good amount of Benadryl. Pretty quickly all the symptoms disappeared! They began again more slowly the second time. It was so slow in fact that I was asked to come back tomorrow (11th) so they are able to complete the treatment. I was there from 8:15-5:30. Long day.Felt pretty good though. I was comfortable and had My Stephen with me. It is so wonderful to have someone there to watch and have that second set of eyes and ears. Blessed, Blessed, Blessed!
I am ready to get the first session behind me. Time to kick cancer's butt!

But now the Lord my God has given me peace on all my borders. I have no enemies, and there is no danger of attack.
