      From roddster50 March 27

      Thank you for your post to my question. Jackie does have a Rheumatologist and now she has a Pulmunary Specialist and Cardiologist involved as well. They have all concluded that Rituxamab is NOT the way to go. I did get a e-mail from someone who linked me to a kidney site where they had the latest results from the Rituxamab test and they showed that the drug failed it's tests. I hope it will not be the case for you. Please let me know how things go Rodney
