Hello again, on Monday our 2nd session will begin (Rituximab, Bendamustine therapy) but my husband has white spots on his face. I asked the doctor and he said it can be some kind of a fungus because his neutrophil counts are low.(0.56) Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks again
Aylin

alyinozel, I have no experience with treatment, but the information on Rituxan (not sure about Bendamustine) has a warning for several dermatological, serious situations.
Were I you, (if you have not) I would get in touch with the treating physcians office asap and ask for him to see your husband for a culture.
---it is not necessarily decipherable by we who are not in the medical profession---I looked up all the warned about dermatiis words---did not find white as a part of any description, but that doesn't mean it isn't serious---these situation can be described as systemic and affect more than the skin.
Please get you Dr. or someone to see what you husband is experiencing.
YOU MIGHT get replies from others who have had this experience if you go to the bottom of your post and click on the v, then choose
