Hello all you PDSA people!

It's been about a year since I last updated you on how things are going with my daughter, who developed ITP at 14 years old (bleeding out from her menstrual cycle!!!), was treated with pred. pulses for about a year, then finally received the 4-dose course of Rituxan starting in Sept.-Oct, 2002. That makes a remission of 10 1/2 years.

I am SOOO thankful for this site, where I first learned of Rituxan, and for all of you, who listened while I chaffed aloud!

To infinity and beyond with those platelets! B) Ann, Caitlin's (almost 26) Mom
