2nd Rituxan infusion

I had my second chemo infusion yesterday and it went pretty well. I went equipped with snacks, hard candy, ice, and water because the first time I had it my throat was pretty raw and sore during and about a day after. Today I'm ok. Everything taste salty to me, but I guess it's just a side effect of the Rituxan. I am trying to flush myself by drinking lots of water so hopefully it will pass.

Between the Rituxan and the Prednisone, I am having headaches, night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia, insatiable appetite, and just feeling "blah" all the time. I am supposed to return to work on Monday, but I think that I will probably have to take another week off simply because I am not able to get proper sleep at night to function by day and this Rituxan and Prednise just have me a mess. I'm going to give a try though and see what happens.
