Hello. Has Anyone Here Ever NOT Had Maintenence Rituximab After Finishing Their Treatments? I Keep Hearing Of Bad Side Effects And Problems
I am being treated for MCL. Also getting bendamustine IV
Been on Rituxin for years. Did not notice any side effects except a little fatigue. It helped my cancer stay away.
I was on Rituxin maintenance off and on for over 10 years for my Mantle Cell Lymphoma; no major side effects- a little fatigue.
Am now on Brukinsa an immunotherapy chemo pill which is working well.
Good Luck!🌺

Hi! I have/had DLBCL stage IV and had treatments of RCHOP chemo. I was never offered maintenance rituxin. Kelly
Thanks! Were you even offered an option to not take it?
It's not uncommon for people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) to have concerns about maintenance Rituximab due to potential side effects. Rituximab can cause infusion reactions, infections, and other rare but serious issues. Since you're also receiving Bendamustine, which has its own side effects, it's essential to discuss Show Full Answer
