I went for Rituxan today and all went well. I asked for a room with a bed and had to wait for another half hour for one to become free. I need a bed to lie down bacause I have to take Benadryl pills before the Rituxan infusion to control the allergic reactions like chills and shaking, and it always makes me dizzy. The Rituxan infusion lasts about three hours and that is a long time to sit up in a chair if I am not feeling well.
There are rooms around the sides of the infusion area that are more private than the cubicle I normally get and mostly have beds as well as reclining chairs. The room was very cold and so the nurse brought me three blankets, one after another, to help keep me warm.
Today was the beginning of my last cycle of treatment. I am looking forward to it all being over and done with, so I can get back to living my life.
