I had 4 BR treatments and now 4 Rituxan infusions as part of an every other month 2 year maintenance program. Good news: still in remission. Not so good: low Wbc, worsening neuropathy, fatigue, stiffness, malaise. These may be at least in part due to the rituxan but I am staying the course. I am trying to adjust my expectations so I can find a level to continue to exercise and work (artist). My doctor said rituxan takes about 6 months to clear your system, so there is an increasing build up when you get it every two months.

I had ONLY Rituxan infusions [no chemo] & it worked very well. I also handled it great too !

I had immunotherapy and target therapy. I had a few symptoms, mostly nausea , constipation, diarrhea and tiredness. I have been in remission for nearly one year and have neuropathy in my legs and feet. I am 88 y/o.

I just finished my sixth and final cycle of rituxin (immunotherapy) and bendamustine (chemotherapy). I had minimal side effects…. Mild nausea a couple days after the two day cycle and a little fatigue…. Nothing major…

Just had my second round of Rituximab and Bendamustine, all went well! This time they increased speed of immunotherapy every 30 minutes, at the same time taking my temperature and blood pressure until I reached max speed for that day without any side effects. Thank you, Jesus! Have 4 more rounds to go!🥰
