"After the first month, once every week. Now every other month. Total of 7 infusions so far. This month I am weak, muscle pains, stomach issues, memory not so good, forgetful, clumsy, dropping stuff for no reason. No energy, or I will wake and forget about being sick, and I tire easily. Tumor in mesentery has shrunk from 1.6 to 0.9. I guess it is working. Not fun though."

Rituximab "Rituxan with Bendamustine put me back into remission. Prior to treatment, I had a host of B symptoms. They disappeared following the first round of treatment. I'm currently on maintenance doses of IV Rituxan, bimonthly."

"I felt immediate shrinkage of spleen and other nodes. Relief from rash (UV sensitivity). Didn't lose all my hair, just thinned out. I never got nauseated. Felt my quality of life was better. I completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy at the highest recommended dose."

"I am a 76-year-old white male. I started Rituximab and Blitzima IV treatment in March 2023. Since November 2023, I have been on maintenance treatment. Apart from a red skin rash all over my body after the very first treatment, I had no side effects whatsoever. According to my oncologist, it is working perfectly. Regular blood tests back this up."
