Can Rituximab increase the size and volume of lymph nodes? If so what is the reasoning?

Rituxan isn't generally considered great at clearing lymph nodes in the long term, but I'm unaware of it increasing numbers and volumes. We are all different...so anything is possible, might be a reaction to it...ramping up the proliferation centres...

Certainly discuss it with your doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks for your comment,Chris.The last couple of days the lymph nodes at the back of my neck and below my ears have become more swollen and ache.This has affected my sleeping. I've been taking paracetamol at night to try and relieve the discomfort.I shall get in touch with my Senior Nurse Specialist on Monday morning.
