Will Rixtuzan Cure Rashes Caused By Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma?
I have non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It has occurred 5 times over the last 15 years. The first treatment was Radiation. The next 2 were Rituxan. the fourth was Rituzan and Zediphil (not sure of spelling). I now have it a 5th time and have a rash on my butt and thighs. I will likely start Rituxan in a few weeks. Will that cure the rash?
Thank you. Jim Boyle

Greetings. I appreciate your concern. As you are suffering from recurrent non hodgkin lymphoma, rituxan will be required as a part of treatment and it will cure the rashes as wel. However i would like to suggest you to go for transplant as it is the only curative option in your condition.
