I had thinning hair after treatment, but my dermatologist said it is growing back.

Hi, I'm Milt. I had all of the above. I lost my hair. I didn't have to shave my face for over 6 months. My leg hair, head, face, chest had fallen out. I had a few strands left on my head and had my Daughter give me a haircut, including pony tail.

I found Rituxan to be a useful treatment when combined with chemotherapy for my CNS Lymphoma. I had 12 treatments. It was only effective when the lesion in my brain was present, in order to penetrate the blood brain barrier. I had no ill effects. My hair may have thinned but did not actually “fall out. “
