A couple of people have asked about my chemo regimen or have said it seems intense. From what I understand, yes, it is a rather intense treatment.
My chemo days start with intrathecal Methotrexate, which is given through a lumbar puncture at UAB hospital in I believe Interventional Radiology. I know how to get there but don't read the signs.
Then I get wheeled over to the Kirklin Clinic (don't need to walk the quarter mile or so in the internal corridors by that point) to Infusion Therapy for Rituxan, Adriamycin, Cytoxan, Vincristine, and then Prednisone tablets at home for 5 days. This is known as "R-CHOP" chemo, plus the Methotrexate.
Four down, two to go.
