Great question Amon! I’d like to expand on that..my husband has DLBCL, starting chemo on Tuesday. Should he be avoiding public places, large groups, once he starts chemo?
I’ve got a question, I’ve got cancer, so much has changed with me. There are times I feel like someone else has taken over my body. I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s hard having cancer and it’s not just me going through this. My whole life has changed, I can’t travel very far, it’s hard on me. It’s hard enough having cancer, I don’t even go outside anymore unless going to appointments, letting the dog out. My daughter keeps pushing me to come there and there is colorado.

I can relate with everyone on here that has made a comment about what their life is like. Maybe everyone that has cancer should start their own community to live in so we can support each other ❤️ You… read more

Were these conditions related to the Rituximab ..I’ve heard of good outcomes and long remissions after Rituximab…hope you get well..
I started with bouts of itching (sometimes with rash/bumps, sometimes not) over a past year or so. My out-of-whack labs and obstruction showed up as jaundice and extreme itching and other ways until IV fluids and eventual sx removed the problem.

I have mentioned this to my oncologist and… read more
