Hi, it's normal to start Rituximab infusions slowly. Subsequent infusions will be faster.

Are you still taking Ibrutinib?

[2017cll in reply to bennevisplace]

Hi yes 420mg till I die or my body refuses it as per doctor info, but last night I have add a big sweat apart from that everything is good.

[bennevisplace in reply to 2017cll]

Night sweats are one of the side effects listed with Rituximab. Some members have reported chills or fevers shortly after commencing the infusions, but no issues later on. That was my experience.

I hope you continue to have mild/ manageable side effects and good results from this treatment.
