Hello!
Hope you can get your Dad to Cleveland Clinic. A number of us go there, and our treatment is generally excellent. I see Dr Alexandra Villa Forte and really appreciate what she's done for me. Some others see Dr Carol Langford with great results as well.
I've had two rounds of rituximab - first in Oct '13 and most recently in Aug '15. Since last August, I've been off immunosuppressants. I still take bactrim 3x weekly and 5 mg prednisone daily. I'm doing well.
I was on methotrexate for three years prior to discontinuing it. Before that, I was on cytoxan for about 16 months with a short time on immuran in the middle of it. I couldn't take immuran as it turned out. I've tolerated most wegs meds pretty well. Got off mtx because the fatigue after taking it was getting problematic.
How long has it been since your Dad's last rtx treatment? He may need them more frequently in the future. Hope all gets better for him soon!
Pete
