Hi ,I think the disposable masks may be easier to tolerate.Remember to drink plenty of water before you go and also during your infusion.Take 2 paracetamol before you go.Have you got something good to read and maybe take a little blanket in case you feel cold.Do the hospital provide some lunch or do you have to take your own.Good luck and relax,you will be fine.xx

I think that you are trying to reply to someone but not sure who. If someone is having Rituximab, they will give medication as necessary. A good book is always good

Yes I was replying to someone but I must have missed something.I always had to take my paracetamol before I went to the hospital and if I forgot they gave it me there.Thanks for replying.

So nice of you to take the time to write and support that patient. The people on this forum are wonderful
Thanks hidden Great advice!
I don’t recommend water, the rituxi infusion are usually combined with Saline so dehydration is not an issue. In fact I found I had to pee a lot during the process😁
