I realize I'm quite late to the party here. It's been a ruff 6mo's, due to an enlarged lymph node in my throat, unfortunately, I think my cancer is flaring again, not gna say it's back, because we all… read more
I had very light nausea. More of a yucky feeling which would last a few days after each infusion.
