Retuximab.

6 Replies

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

in reply toNadine99

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.

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😁
