Retuximab Injection Every 8 Weeks. Is It Causing Fatigue? How Long Does It Stay ‘active’?
im 76yo and the rituximab infusion had NO effect on me, i am a former jogger but still do at least 40min on treadmill at 3.4 mph everyday, i had four of them
I have been told that all the symptoms from chemo can come and go at any given time, that’s the joy of having bern a recipient of chemo. I believe myself that vitamin B 12 helps and if you stay active that is really the only way to overcome fatigue. Yes in the very beginning it’s going to be like climbing a mountain but it will get easier. Have an awesome day.
Thanks Becky6. It’s very encouraging to know that it is perfectly normal to have days of fatigue. It is frustrating but knowing that it is not permanent is very reassuring. 👍
Get all the rest you can. It made me fatigued four four chemos and the 5 and 6th chemo is when I became more alive
It will absolutely wear you out! I had to Google the time it stayed in the body but it was surprisingly short. I am 3.5 years out and stay fatigued. Thankfully I have only had the 4 original infusions. I am 76 so my age probably plays a big part in the fatigue!
I do hope you do well and get stronger but do rest when feel the need. Otherwise you will stay terribly fatigued. Just being honest with you.
