Difficulty concentrating???
I had a hemorrhagic stroke in 2017 followed by my NHL diagnosis in 2018 & treatment with
Rituximab
. Ever since I've noticed a shift in my cognitive abilities especially with concentrating and comprehension. Anyone else had that experience? What did you do about it?

CLL treatment prognosis
Hi all, I was told at my consult this week that because of the way my CLL was - the word immature was used - that I would not be one of the lucky people who have the FCR course of treatment and then nothing again for years. I’m about to start on the Flair programme next month. Does this mean my overall

FDA approval
I just read an article that stated that the FDA approves Ibrutinib plus
rituximab
for CLL on 4/21/2020 for INITIAL treatment. Approval was based on the E1912 trial. Patients with 17p deletions were excluded. The main efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival.

Lumps under armpits
I have large swellings under both armpits. My GP says they are swollen lymph nodes each the size of half a tennis ball. Painless to the touch but beginning to give me a stinging pain as I move. I was diagnosed 2006 and had fcr 3 years ago. Lymphocytes are just under 200 but generally blood counts are

Rituximab risk from Covid19 coronavirus

Getting a letter?
Having SLE, on steroids, had
rituximab
in the last 6 months, have CKD and been on dialysis for the last 3 months too so I should qualify but really really unsure. Very worrying times just now.

Coronavirus - very worried
Suffer from
Rituximab
induced Hypogammaglobulinaemia which means than my immune system has been compromised by 12 years treatment with
Rituximab
. I now require immunoglobulin infusions weekly to maintain my immune system.

Is this psoriasis?
Is it likely that this rash could be the result of my
Rituximab
infusion having been postponed? How to cope with the itching? Any creams you would recommend? I've taken a cetirizine (antihistamine) at suggestion of GP as an interim measure but no relief apparent yet. Help!

I’m Self isolating but should my daughter still go to school?
Currently in a bad flare after having a baby 7 months ago and was due to change meds to
Rituximab
which I imagine will be postponed now. I’m going to self isolate for the 12 weeks but my daughter who is 7 attends school which is currently still open. Should I be keeping her at home?
