How ate you feeling now? I am getting my first Rituxan infusion on Friday. If it doesn't work, I'll get chemo.

Yes I thoroughly agree..I had my first Rituxan treatment last Wednesday and had a bad reaction. Had to stop and resume the next day. Going to have my second treatment in 2 days and I feel terrible. Weak, body pains, no appetite. In general feel awful. It’s true, they don’t tell you anything and when you feel like this it is very scary because I don’t know whether this is normal or has it done damage to me. I feel sicker instead of feeling better. ❤️

Hi Maricom,
My husband is up 4-5 times a night peeing since chemo and stem cell transplant for NHL Mantle Cell. They told us that the chemo wreaks havoc on the digestive, epithelial, mucous membrane cells. So he's had stomach and urinary issues since treatment, so it sounds familiar.

I have had NHL off and on for 32 years. But I haven't had R Chop. I have had Cytoxin, Alpha Interferon, Vincristen, and Lukeran. I also had Rytuxin but had a severe allergic reaction so I didn't get to continue with Rytuxin. As far as UTI's I have them so often, they finally diagnosed me with Chronic Urinary Track Infection Disease. So it could be something else causing yours. I'm so very sorry you are having that on top of everything else. I will be praying for you. I hope you feel better soon.
