Hi friend,How have you been recently?Have you been to the hospital for any check up or treatment?

I took to chemo just fine. I never felt sick and I took rituximab myself. The night before they had me take a stomach medicine and hind sight I think it helps you sleep for the anxiety the night before you have your infusions. I guess sores in the mouth are a concern and I could tell when my chemo was causing my white blood cells to drop (I think) because I was sensitive to certain seasonings but I would gargle with salt water and used a red light mouth guard to keep bacteria at bay.
