Retuxan's full name is Retuximab. Any drug ending in the letters "mab" is a monoclonal antibody. MAB's are used to stimulate the patients immune system. First treatment I had Retuxan combined with bedamustine. Second treatment (because the first failed) was just Retuxan every two months, that did not work either. Next they decided on two cycles of O-CHOP that failed miserably so they gave in and were able to get me a referral to Moffitt Cancer Center and they were able to get me enrolled in a clinical trial for CAR-T. That worked or we would be chatting now. Twenty five months in remission. When I say something did not work don't let that concern you. Everyone is different and not all drugs work on everyone else we would only have or need a single treatment.

I take Rituxun as my regular treatment. Did not have anything else the first year. I have heard several people take this as follow-up after chemo. I had some irregular growth on my face. Lymphoma tissue, not nodes. That's why I take an oral chemo pill now. It's working! I can see the tissue disappeared. Never had any side effects of problems with the Rituxan infusions, but did have fatigue. I don't think you are ever did of NHL, but you do get remission. Hopefully many many years. Good luck and God Bless you.💚💚

Wow, thanks. You just can never give up. I'm glad you and your dr was very proactive as I will be too.

Thank you for sharing. May you continue to do well. God bless
