I have side effects from Mantle Cell treatment with Rituxan

Posted by janelle80 @janelle80, 3 hours ago

Does anyone have red painful, itching bumps on their body? I have had Immunotherapy of Rituxan, and wonder if this has caused my symptoms?
Thank you,
Janelle

hi Janelle - that sounds really uncomfortable. I would let your oncology team know asap. use that number they give you for emergencies outside of business hours. my mom had mantle cell lymphoma and I remember her having a reaction to one of her initial infusions. after that they increased the amount of benadryl they gave during her premeds and she was able to tolerate the rest of her cycles without issues. I hope you get some relief soon!
