Hi there and welcome! Agree with DRZ and JeanMarie.
You may also find that his chemo meds may be exacerbating the after-effects of the infection too. Any illness when you're taking chemo meds is magnified and takes longer to get over. How long has he been on the Rituxan? That could be causing him to feel ratty as well.
If the infection is gone then that's a great thing. It reads like it was a reasonably severe infection too so his body will be taking time to recover from that as well as the constant barrage from the chemo. He'll probably feel like poo for some time after that.
The tightness in the chest is concerning for me though but if bloods and X-rays are clear then that's good. Would perhaps be good to take another trip to the doc of he's not on the improve in two or three days though. Also regularly check if he's running a fever. if he is then straight to the doc again particularly given the WG and the recent infection.
Hope that helps. Best to you and you hubby.
