Hey Jane,

Thanks for checking in.  Round 2 went pretty well.  My blood work looked good.  Man this stuff really messes with your eyes.  I don't see very clearly during the treatments.  Round 2 wasn't as much fun, but the free coffee was great.  After the prednisone drip and about 12 cups of coffee I was wired.  I finally fell asleep about 2 AM Saturday morning and woke up at 4 AM.  I'm kind of tired of the hot flashes and have more empathy for  women now.  Whine, whine, whine....

Getting scanned between now and round 3 and I think I'll get some good news.  The medical bills are rolling in.  Thank God we have insurance.  I feel horrible for the people who are still working and once they get diagnosed they are stuck in those jobs.  New employers insurance won't cover those pre-existing conditions.  My hat is off to anyone who accomplished these regiments will working.  I would probably fall asleep while driving to work.

Yesterday was my last day of the prednisone pills.  So I may be hibernating for a couple of days.

I haven't heard from Bob (CD20).  I think he had round 2 the week before me.  I tried emailing him, but didn't get a reply.

Was night sweats one of your symptoms?  How are you doing?  I tried checking my old messages to see how you were doing.  It seems like you were working on a durable remission.

God bless you and the other angels of these blog sights.
