Night Sweats

weird stuff...
Hi GKH,
Next Tuesday is my 3rd to the last infusion for rituxan...2 more and I'm done(Feb 2013). The only troublesome feelings for me is achey joints...knees...hip and hands. Shoulders get achey with a burning sensation and I experience flushing periodically day and night. I'm thinking the Rituxan is cumulating in my system and after I'm finished with it most of this will go away. I think we all experience symptoms that are hard to explain and make us worry about possible relapse. Sorting through it all can be darn challenging and often frustrating..at least for me. Be sure to run all of these symptoms by your doctor...may be nothing, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Best wishes...Sue

Symptoms
Many chemos cause constipation, but I do not recall Rituxan being one of them, especially long after treatment. I would call the doc regarding the night sweats.
I never had any constipation on r-abvd, but I ate so little that "going" was not much of an issue (lost about 15% of my body weight by the end of treatment).
A great site for readning the side effects of any FDA approved chemo drug is:
chemocare.com.
It is up-to-date and solidly researched. You can get the full scoop on Rituxan there very conveniently.
Bless you !

I appreciate your inputs. It seems that R causes constipation in about 2% of patients.0
