I was the first patient in Georgia to be given the 3rd generation Rituxin . Opted for that in a clinical trial instead of the approved version. Not sure if you are familiar with it or not but thought you might find it interesting. It seemed like a pretty big leap from the earlier versions.
It was part of the R-CHOP treatment I had for my first bout with Lymphoma. Unfortunately, it relapsed and I had to have Hyper CVAD, localized radiation on the brain(precautionary as there was no indication it had spread there) and on the spine. The tumor was 14cm tall x 8cm wide and completely wrapped around my lower spine. Followed by high dose chemo and TBI and finally, a stem cell transplant. This treatment made the first one seem like a walk in the park.
Keep up the good work. It is people like you who have saved many lives....including mine.
