Today I began another treatment cycle with Rituxan and Fludarabine. This one is number four of six, so therefore I am celebrating passing the halfway mark.
I always anticipate the Rituxan day with some anxiety, because I had such dreadful aftereffects when I had the first one. But today went fairly well at Roswell. Although we had a 2 hour wait until the drug appeared, there are magazines and individual TV's to help pass the time. A kind volunteer gave me a crossword puzzle book to keep me occupied.
I had the usual drowsiness because of the Benadryl pills. I had chills during the entire 3 hour infusion, even with a blanket on. A sore throat developed, and then restless legs. After I came home I had a bad stomach upset for a while. Nevertheless, it wasn't a bad start to the week as it's all easier from here on in.
