Rituximab treatment

[Skyllark]

Has anyone done Rituximab treatment in Canada? If so how many treatments did you do… and how did it go? What hospital did you do it in, and what doctor did the order.

I live close…., In Seattle had treatments at Fred Hutchinson Cancer center. I had Rituximab & Cytoxan. I believe 5 rounds. In addition I received IVIG infusions and had plasma plasmapheresis.

My wife has been doing the plasma for 8 years (every two weeks)… after 8 years it’s backfiring, and after 6 hours she becomes paralyzed for about 12-15 hours. So we are doing Rituximab treatments.
