Passed Another Test!

[kwarendorf]

The latest results are in and my CD19 level is 1! The goal is less than 20. I'm told that this means the Rituxan is still working 9 months out. I have an approval for Round 2, but it expires on 7/11, not hugely convenient since I don't seem to need it yet. The billing department at my MS practice is on the case however.

They also said they would run the situation past my doac as well :-)

Hi Kyle:

How long did you have to wait before you got your updated CD19 test?  I have first round of Rituxin in March and go back to doc at the end of this month.  Not sure if I need to have the CD19/20 tested again before then.

I'm going for my 6-12 month visit with Sadiq the Magnificent on 8/12. Should have another cd19 check before hand, also a little tube time given that a picture says 1000 words :-) at that point ti will be 10 months from initial infusions.

Film at 11...

Yippie!  Excellent.
Waiting to hear DD's most recent CD19...6 month test was 0, this will be the 7 month test.

Woohoo! Excellent news, Kyle! Pity about the logistical shenanigans—isn't that always the way? But I'm delighted the billing department is in your corner. So glad you were able to transition to an effective therapy after Tysabri.
