im 76yo and the rituximab infusion had NO effect on me, i am a former jogger but still do at least 40min on treadmill at 3.4 mph everyday, i had four of them
I have been told that all the symptoms from chemo can come and go at any given time, that’s the joy of having bern a recipient of chemo. I believe myself that vitamin B 12 helps and if you stay active that is really the only way to overcome fatigue. Yes in the very beginning it’s going to be like climbing a mountain but it will get easier. Have an awesome day.
Victor, Rituxan has a long half-life and continues working in your body 6 months or more after the last dose. Everyone is different and fatigue is the #1 symptom of lymphoma. Take this time to rest as your energy should come back after treatment and the elimination of the lymphoma cells.
Get all the rest you can. It made me fatigued four four chemos and the 5 and 6th chemo is when I became more alive
It will absolutely wear you out! I had to Google the time it stayed in the body but it was surprisingly short. I am 3.5 years out and stay fatigued. Thankfully I have only had the 4 original infusions. I am 76 so my age probably plays a big part in the fatigue!
I do hope you do well and get stronger but do rest when feel the need. Otherwise you will stay terribly fatigued. Just being honest with you.
