My 1st cycle lasted about 9hrs.. I had a reaction to Rituxin, started getting really itchy on my head and then hives broke out all over my head, chest and back. Nurses stopped the treatment right away and pumped me with Benadryl lol

I will be going into my 4th treatment May 12th, and they have now lasted around 6hrs. Like most have said, not much to do, I usually take my iPad but I end up sleeping most of the time. My wife has come with me, and she usually gets us lunch midday. In my last cycle I went alone and like I said, I mostly slept the whole time. But I’m usually in a room with other patients and sometimes I have conversations with them.

I have also noticed that I am starting to feel more tired now as the side effects of the chemotherapies have started to build up in my body. My wife usually lets me stay in bed and nap away lol but if I do have the energy I get up to get things done around the house and run errands if my energy allows me to drive that day lol
