Hello Suzy, Robert is starting his first of 4 Rituximab in November..just waiting for the insurance to ok it. I hear thru here a lot of wonders about this med. I hope it really works for him. The only concern the Dr. have is that Robert is ANCA negative..the Dr. mention that there is not enough evidence that Rituximab works on this type of cases ...thoughts??
