I'm getting my last cycle of Bendamustin and Rituxin today and possibly tomorrow. I'll need to check how I'm doing in 7 weeks with a PET scan...

I had 6 rounds of R-Chop, and 20 radiation therapy treatments also for aggressive B-Cell. In remission now, and I hope you are too. Best of luck to you.

Hi, I have travelled the same journey you have. Hang in there, it gets easier! I just finished the two years of maintenance and am doing well.

It is sometimes frustrating that we have a new normal but I am a woman of gratitude to still be here.

I hope everything is going well. I recall my last treatment last August... while I still have Rituxin every 3 months for maintenance therapy for another year & a half.... I still feel pretty good. So hang in there. Remember there may be rough roads ahead, but you never travel alone.

That's great news about having your last treatment. It's such a relief when you get to the end although, I must admit, a bit surreal. My last maintenance treatment of Rituxin is in June. Hope things go well in your PET scan later in the summer.
