Fear of PML

I am going into my second Rituxan infusion this week after being diagnosed with MS last May. I can't help but get extremely anxious in the weeks before and the weeks following infusion due to the reminder of the very rare risk of PML. I think I get so anxious because it is so unknown, my neurologist and nursing team never discussed these risks with me and so I've been left to discover what I do know from google. And we all know that google isn't always kind. I just wondered if anyone get anxious about this as well, or if anyone has any information they can share that isn't so scary. Thanks <3

Speak to your ms team, I was and am still very anxious. I was slightly put at ease as they do have a protocol in place for any suspected onset of new or existing symptoms following infusion where you will receive and MRI with 7/14 days which massively improves the probability of successfully stopping pml
