Hi I’ve completed 6 months of Rituximab and Bendamustine for Follicular Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. The scan at the end of the treatment shows there are still a couple of nodes near my stomach but the Consultant says she’s not worried about them? They are having a meeting to decide if I am offered two years of immunotherapy. I am off work at present and have been since I was diagnosed in January 2025. Can anyone advise me if I would be safe to return to work when my immune system is so low. I work in the NHS so would be working in an environment of poorly people. My managers are asking me to give them an idea of whether I can return to work. I also would like to ask what the side effects of immunotherapy are? Thank you for your advise.
Hi Ice cream girl I have no experience of the route you are going down (as well as having different types of NHLs)…… so let’s see if anyone is looking in who can help you out……
From what I have seen on posts on here over the years and on the various Lymphoma Action……. Support Platforms… especially their very active Closed FB group Rituximab or obinutuzumab is often used for this treatment.
