Hello,
I am care giver to my 78 year old mother who has had mantel cell for over 10 years. She was given chemo and then rituxamab for maintenance. Now she has Bronchiactisis. SP?
She is in terrible pain and can barely breath and can not breath without oxygen.
We believe that the rituxamab has caused the Bronchiactisis (a side affect).
My mother has lived a good life, never smoked and had no lung issues until after the maintenance rituxamab.
We question, should she only have taken the rituxamab as a treatment for a flare up of the Mantel cell and not as a maintenance. I wonder how many people who have taken this drug as a maintence procedure now have lung issues?
It is just a question.
