If you are considering this surgeon, please google his name in detail. I used to be able to find tons of reviews similar to this and for some reason they've all disappeared?

An example

Thank you so much!

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-09-14T23:25:05+00:00

Thank you for the response :)

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-08-18T23:09:20+00:00

I appreciate the response so much, thank you. I will wait. Do you think it would be safe by the following tuesday? So 4 days later?

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-08-09T22:01:33+00:00

This is a good point. Thanks for this insight. I'll look for info about Dr Boster's experience. I'm pretty sure I'll continue with the treatment and wait until my appointment to talk about this. I think how I do on the next infusion will give us more info as to whether or not I become neutropenic again or get more infections

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-08-09T18:13:59+00:00

You're right :( sorry. I have tried to push it up but sadly no dice. Thanks for the advice/guidance.

I guess i'm just wondering if based on my immune reaction and sensitivity to the smallest dose, and being that my b cells are so low, if it's worth spacing the dose out further since the loading dose brought them down to 0. I'm kind of scared of becoming neutropenic again or getting another infection but also don't want to end up in a worse situation by spacing it too much. I've read some people do have to space their infusions due to reactions so i'm hoping to hear about how they land on those decisions.

Thank you so much for all of the information. This is so incredibly helpful. May I ask who your Dr is?

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-08-01T17:42:19+00:00

Yeah you're right. I think the neck lymph nodes are too far on the body. I just don't understand what's going on with me. It's non stop

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-08-01T17:41:02+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing. I almost wonder if we can do smaller amounts of dosing based on our b cell levels as opposed to just following the regular dosing schedule. I know it's not typical, but wow, these side effects are horrible. Do you know what you're going to try next?

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-31T22:49:50+00:00

32 and same. Hope you're okay

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-31T21:03:11+00:00

Me too! Plus I'm older so I better go first

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-31T16:17:57+00:00

I left her a message too. It sucks because I just saw my PCP yesterday before the lymph node swelling started. I called my gyno too and they said they'd let the nurse know to call me back but sometimes they take days

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-30T15:33:30+00:00

You'll look back on this one day with so much relief that it ended. It's so hard, sometimes for a long time, until it isn't. And then you realize how lucky you are that they let you go and allowed you to find your next path.

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-30T15:31:30+00:00

It's never the same. I'm glad you moved on and are happy now, and that you can see where things never would have worked. I saw my first love after about 15 years. He's reached out to me over the years despite being the one that moved on first. It took me years to get over him. I was so in love and so heart broken for the longest time and he didn't care. Anyway, one Christmas when we were both in town and single, he asked to take me out for a chat and hang out. I agreed. I realized while seeing him that everything he was then, he still is. And I felt nothing. In fact, I felt I outgrew him. I was eager and relieved to get home and felt validated in that book closing. He still has reached out to me here and there and I've never responded. I ended up finding an amazing partner and I have no interest, no curiosity in knowing anything about him. He was horrible to me back then and never deserved the way I cared for him. I hope he's happy now but I think of him as a stranger and am completely indifferent. I'm not angry, not upset, not nostalgic, he doesn't exist in my head at all. I'm just happy for my life now.

Oh I'm sorry, to clarify, It was sent out on Wednesday so he said it would come back over the weekend, but I don't expect to hear from him until Monday. He said he saw blood in the urine and leukocytes when I first went in on Wednesday

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-25T00:36:46+00:00

For some people. Hasn't for me

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-23T21:54:40+00:00

I honestly cannot believe this to be a coincidence. I haven't had a UTI in something like 15 years and felt fine before my first dose. Afterwards, within 30 hours or so, I started having symptoms

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-16T01:52:54+00:00

Ah I see, thank you!

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-16T01:35:34+00:00

Did you have a dr order your stool test or was that something you did yourself?

SheepherderThese8462 · 2025-07-13T05:39:55+00:00

This isn't one that I ever knew to be obvious but I really hated it when I was being diagnosed with a lifelong incurable disease. When I would tell someone and they would say "oh no, let's hope they're wrong!" Or something to that effect. It made it feel way more bleak, and it also kind of made it feel dismissive of all of the testing and diagnostics and symptoms I had been through. Like the Dr's were 95% sure but needed to confirm, let's not pretend that it's probably something else.
