I've had Rituxan with Cytoxan for 6 sessions, once a week, for 6 weeks, for anemia and lymphoma. I will continue Rituxan every 6 months for one month for 2 years. The last 6 treatments gave me NO side effects at all. I received Benadryl before each chemo drip so that I would not have any allergic reactions, all went well. Went home and got on with my life. Hope this helps you make a decision. Good luck to you.
