R-CHOP Reviews
Working / Worked
I am going to do my fifth cycle after tomorrow :
overall, the treatment is not that bad. the tumor become smaller by 50% after two cycles(now it is 6cm).
side effects: my hair fall but this is not big issue for me.
some tingling sensation in my feet(peripheral neuropathy)
the worst thing is the Prednisolone, it makes me feel very nauseated and sick during the first five days.
major problem for me is the price of the Rituxan because i pay out of my pocket....it is not fair to pay 4000$ for it

I had six rounds of this strong stuff. It worked it's magic, and I went into remission after the 4th round. The side effects are weakness, nausea, and just plain not feeling like yourself at all, but it's amazing how it worked. I thank God for it.
