What Are Side Affects From 4 Weekly Treatments Of Rituxinab Infusion
I have lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, said to be stage 4 due to B symptoms of fevers and night sweats. All minor. Seems side affects from infusion worse than what I am currently experiencing
Hi Linda343...All together I had 8 treatments of Rituxin, 4 weekly then 4 more every 2 mos. Side effects vary but for me it wasn’t easy but was tolerable. I was 79 at the time so I think age played a part in how my body reacted. First infusion was difficult because I had trouble breathing and it had to be stopped. Dr checked me and added another antihistamine which alleviated the problem. After that treatments were ok. I did end up with severe joint and muscle pain for a year. At first, dr did not attribute that to rituxin. After finishing treatment the pain went away and dr agreed that it was from rituxin. Not sure what side effects you’re experiencing but if you’re being advised to have treatments I would say to strongly consider it. Pls lmk if you have more ?s. Hope this helps.
Okay Buddies- I Want Some Advice. If You Have Done A Course Of Treatment With Rituximab (or Similar Monoclonal Antibody) What Was It Like??
Has Anyone Had Immunotherapy?? Any Side Effects? Thank You.
Anyone Have Experience With Rituximab Treatments
