well it been months now on high dose steroids 5 days in three weeks then low dose for rest and the ritumixab infusion every three weeks and can still get in and out of bath and up from settee these drugs are amazing now i would not recommend getting lymphoma just to try them but well they do work so well so any one facing this treatment remember there are silver lining's to be found even when it looks like life is against you good luck hang in there all ((())) val

    You are as positive as ever, my lovely, and good for you. Steroids are lovely, aren't they? You're getting the ritux every three weeks? Crikey, no wonder it's working! Chin up my girl, as ever we're all behind you. DD
