hi, i was so glad to read your message, ive been online for 2 days trying to find somebody with this symptom. My husband has NHL and he has had back pain about 1 week after his RCHOP treatmend with the Rituxin (Mabthera). Our oncologist said that this is a common side effect cause i was worried the cancer had spread ot his spine, he has pain killers prescribed to help with the pain,
My sister has just had a treatment of Rituxin and is also in a lot of pain.
She would like to know the name of your doctor, so that her doctor at Sloan Kettering could contact him/her. Thanks so much
