I’m currently stage 4 with Mets in colon and liver. My platelets and hemoglobin have dropped so much that I haven’t been able to receive any kind of treatment except zometa for my bone Mets. It’s believed that my body is destroying rbc hemoglobin and platelets prematurely. Just trying to see if anyone here has tried the dru retuximab?

Dealing with low blood counts that prevent treatment can be incredibly frustrating and concerning. While some community members may have experience with rituximab for certain blood-related conditions, it's important to work closely with your oncology team to explore the best options for your specific situation. Hopefully others here can share their experiences, and wishing you better days ahead as you navigate these treatment challenges.

I also forgot to mention that I have triple negative and it’s invasive lobular carcinoma.
