Its fast approaching my husbands last Ritux treatment (28th Oct) and then the following week he will undergo PET and CT scans to see if the Ritux has done its job. He is very scared, isnt talking at all about anything really just quite withdrawn. I have tried to engage him but I really dont know where to go with this. I have told him that from the information on this site and blogs and forums that you lovely people have posted the outlook doesnt seem to be as grim and there is every possibility that the Ritux has worked and controlled the lymphoma tumour in his abdomen and he could even be in remission. He's not convinced or feeling positive at all. Now unless there is something he is not telling me I am at a loss as to how to deal with this. Can anyone help?
