Treatment of NHL with Rituxan is one of the best innovations in recent years for this type of cancer. I tolerated six treatments very well and am nearly 2 years cancer-free from aggressive, large B cell (stage 4). I concur with lad1, trust your oncologist but also the medical research. You could search on the Internet or go to www.leukemia-lymphoma.org. Lymphoma is very curable and I wish you a speedy and full recovery.lad1only said:Hello, I have heard of many people having much success with Rituxan treatments. Trust your Onocologist and you should be good to go. Good luck. I originally had Chop/Rit combo three years ago for same diagnosis as you. Take care.
Take care!

hello jo98-- i have had many rounds of rituxan and from what ive read it is the newest form of treatment- i recieve my treatment in houston and started on chop and went to rituxin but my dr. said that some people are treated with rituxin only--so dont worry- besides the side affects are far less than with chemo--and you can keep your hair--0
