Post-infusion symptoms worsen

I have not posted in a few days because there really is no news. I feel lousy, my symptoms continue and I so want to have this over and done! I experience sweats and then shivers and my body never quite seems to be at a comfortable temperature. I run a temperature most of the time, despite taking the medications Dr. Hema and Dr. Infekto suggested. After the previous two infusions, the symptoms declined in about a week; well, tomorrow is a week. Let the symptoms subside!

The silver lining is that next week, the 23rd and 24th, is my fourth and final infusion! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today's weight 164.5. It sure was fun weighing 174 for a day or so. I hope the lymphoma going to remission will improve my general health, especially my anemia and low iron, and I can get to a physique somewhere above 'scrawny.'
