I was diagnosed with Follicular Non Hudgkin's Lymphoma last year in November. Had 4 Month Chemo with Bendeka. Now in remission, and was recommended to do a 2 year maintenance treatment with [[treatment:Rituxan Hycela:5c648bd265df61506ecba9a7]]. Anybody else has the same treatment?

I had Rituxan first line treatment and had my first rituxan maintenance treatment in December. Caught a bad cold 4 weeks ago and am really struggling to get rid of it. Has anyone had a similar problem and how eventually get over it?
A month is long time for a common cold. My Covid symptoms mimicked a mild cold that morphed into a sinus infection that I was slow to treat because I assumed it was Covid, and as such I would just… read more
