As A First Line Medicine For Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinia,is Rituximab Preferred

As a first line medicine for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinia,is rituximab preferred over Ibrutinib.I have not been treated with medication yet but my hematologist believes with my anemia of 29% and high protein that I should be on ibrutinib. Retuximab seems effective with fewer side effects.Thank you for your response-Stephen Rand,M.D.
