Rituxan maintenance

[me2]

Loisann11- My doctor has said to me that he would like to keep me on full treatment for two years that is not interrupted by a flare before thinking about backing off.

That’s totally consistent with what I’ve heard.

To answer the OP's thread -
I had an initial 4 doses of Rtx over a 6 week period. I then had a top up every 4 months for a further 18 months. In total I had 9 infusions over an 18 month period. The last infusion was January 2017. In December 2017 I had B cells back. The dr said that patients who have had a few doses of RTX don't get B cells for over 2 years. I was the exception as they reappeared after 11 months and I'd had more than what they would consider "a few doses" of RTX.
