Well I am feeling better today and much more on the ball than after the treatment yesterday.
I had all four meds yesterday over a 4 hour period. I t was a bit different this time as my system was better able to cope with the treatment; although, they did add a couple of twists to the mix in that they doubled up on the Diphenhydramine (antihistamine) and put that through the IV rather than orally they also added Cortisone through IV to help with the immune response to the Rituximab. This approach seemed to work just fine as I did not have any reaction to the meds at all, but it sure made staying awake a huge challenge!
I managed to have a short nap in the afternoon and still get a fair sleep last night. I have been drinking lots of fluids to make it easier on my kidneys and liver, my appetite has settled down since yesterday as I pretty much cleaned out the fridge (must be those steroids). I am now on day 2 of 5 of the Prednisone and all is going well.
I am feeling pretty good today although like in the first cycle my face is warm and flushed, i am just taking it easy and laying about the house.
Talk at you tomorrow.
