I’m so much better after Rituximab treatments and consider them life saving. I did not have a lot if side effects but even if I had I would have gladly suffered them in return for the almost immediate relief from fatigue, unsteadiness, and bone pain I was experiencing.

Diane Lueckurt: I’m in the similar situation. I have about 85% of my narrow occupied.
What I need to know is are you anemic and do you need
Blood transfusions? I have not started Retux treatment I’m absolutely afraid of it for its side effect..
what were your side effects and how did you tolerate them. Were u on a special diet? Thank so much for your answers.. Lynetta

Sorry to hear that Sue6. I have had muscle and joint pain but no other side effects that I’m aware. However I did have bone pain prior to the Rituximab and extreme fatigue, and weakness. Sometimes I would feel dizzy and unstable. Am so much better now.

What kinds of side effect you have after treatment with rituximab? My oncologist claimed there should be no side effects from Rituximab….I am in remission since 2021 after 5 rounds of rituximab but developed auto immune, RA , neuropathy and extremely fatigue since the infusion.

Good morning my friends. Diagnosed in spleen and lymph nodes and bone marrow. I was told because in bone marrow put me stage IV.
That was in a Tuesday two days later started treatment.
Had 12 treatments of Bedamustine and Retuxim.
In remission now 3.5 years.
