Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Rituxan can be a real life saver. Key is running it EXTREMELY slowly the first time to make sure there is no adverse reaction and be prepared for the worst. I have seen it save many lives but I also saw it kill a man with mantle-cell NHL. It is essential to have someone with experience administer it.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thank you, . When you say someone with experience, is this not something that an average oncologist would have experience with? It sounds like it may be specialized and I would need to look for a specific type of doctor to do it. I like the good results I'm reading, but the side effects are pretty scary. I wonder though, if the side effects are due to rituxan alone, or when its combined with other drugs. I see its also used for RA. > > Rituxan can be a real life saver.
