Has anyone experienced night sweats as a side effect of Rituxan? I have been on almost 2 years of maintenance and just started experiencing them. I have seen my onchologist and she says not side effect BUT could be afffecting my system????? So confusing to me.

    I will be 6 weeks out of chemo this sunday, I had R EPOCH, I had and still do have night sweats. My Oncologist said this is normal. They are not as bad now, but I still sweat at night.

    Night sweats...

    Hi...I have been on Rituxan off and on for the last 5 years and have not experienced night sweats. Rituxan has never been a problem for me, thank goodness. Hope your night sweat problem can be solved.

    Best wishes...Sue

    night sweats

    I had night sweats when on Rituxan and also after the Rutuxan infusions.   The Oncologist would ask if the sweats were heavy; I would say, no, and that was the end of the conversation re sweats.  I had no problems.

    Night Sweats

    I have have had my second round of R-chop. I get about a 3 hour infusion of Rituxin as part of each treatment. No night sweats so far.
