Just wondering if any of you had opinions from the experts on when to re-administer Rituxan, if B cells are repopulating, and some worrisome symptoms are creating some 'back ground noise'.
My daughter has been on RTX since original diagnosis in 2006. Her first 3 infusions were four infusions, over 4 weeks, and resulted in a drug induced remission of a year or longer.
This most recent (Feb/March of 2011) was two infusions at higher dose, at two week intervals, and she is currently showing B cell repopulation.
I don't really know what to read into this, but don't want her going into a full fledged flare.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
