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? Is it standard to do it after chemo? What are the long term side effects? I feel fine, but still worry about this
Anybody completed the 2 year? Was any recurrence of the cancer shortly after finishing treatment.… read more
I tried the maintenance once and mine recurred while on it. I do much better just getting a round of rituxan when it recurs.
How long after treatment did patients see positive results like having more energy less fatigue less b symptoms like sweats it been a month since my wife completed here front line treatment of Rituxinab 1 a week for a month
Hi Linda
You will be fine. I know it is hard going through all this stuff but it will all work out wonderful for you. Just keep smiling and each day will be better.
I was diagnosed with cutaneous B cell lymphoma. Lesions occur mainly on my scalp and lower back.
I had thinning hair after treatment, but my dermatologist said it is growing back.
My oncologist says the usual procedure after completing the final round of chemo/immuno therapy (which I did yesterday, hurray! ) was to continue with immuno therapy infusions every 2 months for 2 years. He also said the immune system would get compromised by the therapy and that it was my decision, esp. with Covid and other (respiratory) diseases still around, if I really wanted to go through with it.

If you are on private health stay in hospital when you have the treatment. That way you will be totally covered. I was when I had my first round. But I now have moved to public and don't pay anything… read more
May be taking rituxan as a follow up treatment. Just finished up r chops 5 weeks ago. Are there side effects? I am in remission but still have a very small amount of non hodgkins lymphoma left in mid section. Will it get rid of it or does it keep it from growing? What are the chances of it coming back while on this drug?Tks, becky
Wow, thanks. You just can never give up. I'm glad you and your dr was very proactive as I will be too.
Hello Group - My name is Pam, 63 year old retired nurse. I just finished 6 months of Bendemustine/Rituxamab (BR) treatment for follicular lymphoma stage 4. The majority of providers are recommending a 2 year - every 2 month infusion of Rituxamab. I've also heard some LLS physicians state they no longer use this protocol due to weakening of the immune system - with COVID and all still active would increase our chances of getting it. Anyone have advise/opinion on this? I personally don't feel… read more
