Round One of Rituxan

Yesterday I got my first round of Rituxan. I was given premeds ( Tylenol and Benadryl) to combat the side effects and slept through most of the therapy. My vital signs were checked frequently to make sure I wasn't crashing. To make a long story short- it went well and instead of it taking eight hours I was able to complete the therapy in five hours. Today I go in for round five of chemotherapy. They are lowering the dose of Vincristine and have adjusted the prednisone so that I come off of it slower. It should not take as long today as it has in the past. I'll update later on how things have gone today.
