New to all of this....
I was also given
Rituximab
which has been a success so far. I asked to try Azathioprine first as we hope that one day we can have another baby but unfortunately it didn't agree with me on two occasions so I started Methotrexate back in Oct 2016 and all seems well at the moment.

Treatment choices and work or not to work
Hello again. When I returned to the hospital again on Monday the doctors are now urging me to begin treatment fairly soon. My WBC doubled from 68 in April 2016 to 118 in October and then 206 a few weeks ago. I don't remember my other blood numbers but no other concerns were mentioned. She said if we

I've had
rituximab
x3 which helped to reduce my steriods. Symptoms for both PAN and GPA were similar, but the only difference being that PAN affected my kidneys and GPA is affecting my lungs and respiratory system.

CAR-T Clinical Trial
In 3 years she progressed after R-CHOP (6 cycles), bendamustine/
rituximab
(6 cycles), and Ibrutinib (12 months). Then she took Idelalisib/
rituximab
as her fourth treatment. It worked great for 14 months then a PET scan showed she progressed again.

Explainer: what is the blood-brain barrier and how can we overcome it?
sso-checked=true There have been a few attempts at trials with
Rituximab
, but slow recruitment challenges the ability to gain adequate data. Neil Photo: Eucalyptus (gum tree) blossom

Eye infection –Lupus -Rituximab
As I have found when I have a cold, flu or any kind of infection I was floored for the weekend which I expected However, my worry is that I had
Rituximab
infusion in January (Even though it didn’t go to plan) and I am due to restart the treatment on Thursday.

Sternum tenderness and neck swelling 🙁
I have primary sjogrens which has caused lymph node enlargement, muscle and joint pain , i have had two lots of
rituximab
. I don't think its costochonditis as ribs are ok . Do you think its the lymph nodes acting up again ? I didn't have sternum involvement before .

6 months post FCR and let me introduce Brewster to you all!
It's hard to believe that 6 months have past by since Chemo... some days I feel nearly normal🤓 And don't give too much thought to CLL but other days it can be the burden that you carry around – On those days it feels as if i am on an isolated island, all by myself , trying to predict how long remission

Treatment
Hi, has anyone been given a combination of bendamustadine and
rituximab
as a maintenance treatment? I have read that this can prolong remission further than
rituximab
alone. I don't think this is available yet in UK as a standard treatment. However, I believe it may be under consideration.
