I Had My First Round Of Bandamustine And Rituximab On 1/23 And Just Rituximab On 1/24

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was pretty debilitated afterwards. I was told to take Pepcid for my GERD and I was given IV hydration on 1/31 and felt much better. I was given hydration again on 2/2 and didn't feel well. Two days later I started breathing very hard. Today, 8 days later I am still having problem with my breathing. We did a chest X-ray and my blood and everything looks good. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED ANDY BREATHING PROBLEM WITH THIS TREATMENT. I am so upset that I am ready to give up on the treatments… read more

I too have had reactions but they lowered the dose…each month slow increase. 5thtrestment at 70%.. these chemo treatments have side effects some more serious than others. But the science behind it show good results for eradicating cancer. I may be in remission, no signs of lymph node enlargements but I’m choosing to finish the last treatment…all the best

I will be receiving my 5th round tomorrow and Friday . The first round was difficult with fatigue ,sluggishness and headache but no breathing issues. Since then only fatigue. My scan after the 3rd round showed improvement .Try to stick with it
Best of luck

HI yes I finished rituximab txtmt only but I am in remission and still have shortness of breath. My oncologist team says that is just normal--I finally accepted my health well never be what it was before (I was diagnosed with nonhodkins lymphoma stage 4) it frightens me at times but then I rest for a while and it gets better. I soooo understand but once Igave myself permission to be where am and it helped.
