In October had Rituxan remove all affected B cells.

Have yourself checked for Rhumatoid Arthritis. It like lymphoma, is a result of an immune system that can't differentiate BETWEEN a cell that should be attacked and one that shouldn't

Definitely more sensitive to cold, both inside and outside. Had very high cold tolerance before chemo, but all gone and get chills easily and often

I have arthritis in my shoulders, elbows and wrists and hands - started a month ago - I reported it to my oncologist who I see tomorrow and his nurse said they would take labs and clip my nails which apparently is a test for change from B cells being attacked to T cells. I don’t know if he will test for RA but I definitely have upper body arthritic joints, symptoms that are new. Thank you very much, Becky.
