Got the Flu! was created by jaysbeaker@verizon.net
Hi all,

Was hoping 2013 would bring some better luck, thus far not such a good start. Wife went in for her weekly count as she tapers her prednisone. She's 5 weeks post rituxan and has now get the flu. Her hematologist asked for a swab test which came back positive for influenza A. She's now on tamiflu 2x 75mg.

Anyone else ever use that antiviral? The silver lining is that her count was 144 so she's still very safe from bleeding.

Thanks

Jay
