Hi John sounds urgent and veryworrying that if you can't put it on here. I hope there's not a problem with it. You hear about these things don't you. Can you let me know please as both me and my husband have had it/are still having it for our WG. I have emailed you as you asked. Can you let me know if my email gets through to you?

We have received about 50 responses to this appeal, which is amazing!! John has now received instructions on what to do next so will be in touch. If there is anyone else out there who is taking Rituximab or has had RTX please get in touch, it really will benefit everyone who has vasculitis in the future for having access to Rituximab. thank you
