What you're experiencing after your first round of Rituxan and Bendamustine sounds really tough — and unfortunately, pretty common. The "good days then bad days" cycle is something many people go through with this treatment combination.

Some of the side effects you may be feeling include:

- Fatigue
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Mouth soreness
- Fever
- Decreased appetite There are also some more serious side effects to watch for, including signs of infection, unusual bruising, or any neurological changes. These are worth flagging to your care team right away if they come up.

The good news is there are medications that can help manage things like nausea and diarrhea, so it's really worth talking to your doctor about what's available to make those rough days more bearable.

Keeping your care team closely updated on how you're feeling after each cycle can make a real difference in managing your treatment experience.
