Thank you for replying. Pretty much both. I’m feeling a bit depressed right now about the whole thing.

@sonny001 when I had the rituxan, I felt it was no big deal. The nurses are so nice, everyone was laughing, and the nurses brought pillows and blankets. Half of the patients took naps and the rest chatted with whoever brought them. And you can always ask the nurse to run it slowly. That took away some of my anxiety!

And be sure to bring your lunch or a snack!
I just know you can do this!! What can you plan, as a treat, once the infusion is over?
