Hello good people I’m back home after x8 days in a wonderful caring hospital, isolation ward and my own room. Temperature began to stabilise so once I’d got over D & V ( c diff and COVID) ,i was allowed to go home. Feeling much better 1st day back home, stay safe and SHIELD people. ( because I really don’t know where i got covid)???

Dear @DavidJohnSmith
Firstly, glad you are back home and I do hope you are recovering well?
Your question regarding time scales, may I ask whether you mean the time scale for the MRD results or the scheduling of the Rituximab Maintenance?
Minimal Residual Disease testing takes approximately 2 weeks but it does depend on where the Specialist Laboratory is situated in relation to the Hospital you have the Bone Marrow Test taken in.
In terms of booking your Rituximab, that is really dependent on the team arranging this and I expect they will be able to give you an idea of time scales.
So sorry not to be specific but time scales do vary.
Kind regards
Gemma
