Medics paused treatment for 30 minutes, put more fluids in then continued fluids & chemo in tandem. no further problems, Back tomorrow for more.

I think the same treatment is in my near future so I'm watching your posts with self interest as well as my sincere best wishes for you. Thank you for posting your ongoing experience and please know that you are not alone.

Hi. thank you for your post. I will continue to post my progress. Very best wishes for your treatment also.
Hi there.
During your treatment time try to stay healthy ie partial
Hermit mode. Drink loads water and be careful with what you eat. Its only for 6 months and does help. Not sure what country you are in but here in the UK we are heading into winter.
I wish you well for your future treatments.

Ps just read a previous and you live in Lincoln, Great Britian. So as advised be extra careful, lots of germs about this time of year and you will be vulnerable. You'll probably feel off for a few days and then pick up until next your next treatment. You'll be surprised at how quickly the time goes.
Not to far away from you in sunny Suffolk.

Second day will not be as bad and will be quick compared to 1st day. Drink lots of water. After 4 or 5 days you'll feel better, but probably will tire quickly.
Hope is goes smoothly.
I did not get in crowds to keep well. I used a mask when I had to get out shopping. I washed my hands lots.
Hope day two goes better for you and sorry to hear of your "wobble". It's a but of a scare when you have a reaction on day one, I did with Rituximab four weeks ago and I was quite worried going in the following day for the second part. Thankfully all went well as did the next infusion last week. Keep strong and rest when you need to. Best wishes.
