When it comes to action, this group definitely puts the pedal to the metal… I am so grateful to all of you that offered me input about Dr. Grant Anhalt, getting around the Baltimore area, lodging suggestions, and most of all encouragement. When I was flying the friendly skies, all of you were with me. I could feel your love, support and cheering me on as I approached the city of Baltimore. It’s difficult enough finding a local doctor, giving him your trust and praying that his treatment will be successful. Traveling 1500 miles away is a totally different story. Hopefully, this story will have a happy ending. I was very impressed with Dr. Anhalt, his staff and the Johns Hopkin’s facility in Baltimore, Maryland. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and willingness to move on to Plan B made the trip all that I had hoped it would be. I am now on Cellcept and awaiting my first infusion of Rituxan on June 6th in my home town of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Dr. Anhalt is always willing to share his expertise with other physicians and responds to email in a timely manner. My local rheumatologist will be consulting with Dr. Anhalt, so I feel confident in the new treatment plan. I want to once again thank all of you for being in my corner. Our group definitely pays it forward. From welcoming new members, to answering the craziest of questions, to responding to someone in need, you are the very best.
