    Rituximab
    Hey JoanieP my name is Francesca all of you sound really nice I am glad to get a little info on what to expect on Tuesday when I have my first treatment of Rituximab I am really nervous the side effects sound worse then the cure.
    I am glad to read that its not too bad.
    Thank you.

    Rituxin does a body good.
    Hi Leon, the side affects are usually not bad. If you can tolerate Rituxin, which most ppl can, you should be ok.

    Just drink plenty of water/Gatorade and rest, rest, rest. I found that these combination of things worked very well for me.

    Lots of luck to you.
