Anyone have Rituximab infusion for lymphoma treatment? Did it help?

I just found out yesterday after a bone marrow biopsy that I have low-grade B Cell lymphoma, 10 to 15% overall cellularity. I have a PET scan coming up, not even scheduled yet but hope to have it scheduled within the next few days. I’m so happy to read about all of your experiences. It has already helped me and I look forward to returning to this blog often! Best wishes to everyone on your journeys and may God bless!

Hi @sledbetter Welcome to Connect. Low-grade B-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma which is generally slow to develop. There are various subtypes, many not requiring immediate treatment but more of an active surveillance situation.
There are a number of members in Connect who have been diagnosed with low grade B Cell lymphoma.
One discussion that might be helpful is this one with @elainejarrett and others. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lymphoproliferative-disorder/

Yes and Yes. It worked (after Claribidine)
