in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1

Well I ended up with phlabitis in my arms. One spot came from last chemo. The other one in other arm is from previous chemo. He said if I didn't have just one more Bendamustine and rituxen treatment he would insist on port. He prescribed antibiotics and heating pad. 

I'm ok with this its just a bit nerving.

    I am sorry to hear you are having another infection--this time phlebitis. I had that once too. If you like hot baths. . .go for it. Luckily, you only have one more Bendamustine infusion. Hang in there!

    It's good to know someone has

    It's good to know someone has had it too. It's kinda freaky. I think I have a hot bath in my future! 

    I'm standing strong. 

    I hope antibiotics and heat does the trick.

    So how long did you have

    So how long did you have phlabitis? 

    How long did it take for the swelling to go down? 

    Did you do heating pad,ibuprofen and antibiotics? 

    My swelling hasn't changed overnight but the little one doesn't hurt as bad. The bigger one hasn't changed at all in fact I think it hurts more than yesterday.
