8 days agoI have follicular lymphoma stage 3 I'm being treated with bendimustine and gazyva. I don't know if I spelled that right. They stopped treatment for now due to me having trouble with heart racing, chest pain and chills. I went to cardiologist and will find out next week. Has anyone else had this happen and if so what was the next step for you

8 days agoBendamustine and rituximab (Gazyva) can cause various side effects, and cardiac symptoms like heart racing and chest pain are important to address with your medical team, which it sounds like you're already doing. Many patients in the B-cell lymphoma community have shared experiences with treatment modifications when side effects occur, and oncologists often have alternative approaches or supportive care measures to help continue treatment safely once any cardiac concerns are properly evaluated and managed.
