Welcome, @jlk1323. Allow me to bring in other members who have experience with rituxan for autoimmune disease like @kathrynmc @becsbuddy @geegie @janett18.

You're asking some great questions. Did you doctor give you any indication of how many treatments you may need?

Thank you for your replay. I had my first two doses in August and I am schedule to get another round in February. Beyond that, my rheumatologist has not said.

I did not start Rituxan treatments as recommended by my rheumatologist, because I wanted to get a second option. I was seen at Mayo in September of this year. My PFT was slightly improved and my lung function was stable, since my last one done in April. The doctors at Mayo recommended that I stay on current medications unless something changes. They also agreed with my doctors diagnosis and my treatment. I am scheduled for PFT at the end of December. I feel really good, so I am hoping everything looks good with my next PFT, and that I can stay on Azathioprine. Kathryn
