"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.

"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."
