hi i am due to have rituximab maintenance for 2 years but the doctor has told me that their is evidence that it has no benifit , dont know whether to carry on with it or not , anyone else heard this or been told this doroty
We have some general information on our website about rituximab on our website just here but it may be a good idea to sit down with the doctor who told you this to find out why they have said this and get all the information you need from them to make an informed decision. It may also be worth getting a second opinion to see if they can verify what you've been told.
Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon but do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you'd like to talk this through with someone. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.
I hope you can get some clarity on this soon and are happy with the decision you make regarding this course of treatment.
