Hi everyone, just an update. Dans 3r chemo treatment went very well.he's getting better about accepting my diagnosis of DLBC, I had my first chemo last Tuesday. It was fine until I got the benedrly horrible restless leg syndrome.finally the nurse gave me an inject of 2mil of Ativan.
Dont really rember much of what happened after that. Couldn't remember getting home.i was bouncing off the walls. Went home and slept until I woke up with chills and 103 temp, I didn't want to go to hospital but my two sons insisted on it anyway after labs n chest ray dr sent me home on two tylonal""
I'm onRCHOP. So that was our day. How was yours.

Re: Dan and Jackie's chemo
Dear D & J, So sorry things are so difficult right now. Just remember that your doc can adjust dosage, etc. so it should get better as they find what works for you. Glad Dan is accepting your dx - that also takes time to process. Lucky your sons are available to step up. Good luck to you both, and thanks for the update. Take care. XXOXO, Delinda
