First Day of CHEMO 3/29/2010

The first day of Chemo was short, blood work, and then hooked up to the IV from 9:20 - 11:20AM. The nurses first gave a Tylenol for fever from a possible reaction. Then a bag of Benadryl for Nausea, that comes from the next bag of Rituxun. Something about how it interacts with the lymphoma.


Got home and within 45 minutes got the chills real bad. Debi put me into a sweat shirt and I got in bed with the heating pad on and five or six blankets. Sleep intermittently due to the Benadryl. Then after a couple hours I warmed up. Then got too warm, stripped off all the blankets, the sweat shirt and laid there another hour with the sweats. Felt fine by about 3:30PM, ate some crackers, and felt fine the rest of the rest of the evening after a light supper. But during the night I had the sweats again, but not real bad.
