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

my wife ,kathleen has been on rituximab for 7 months for WG,brilliant compared to methotrexate and cyclophos.,both of which did nothing but give horrendous side effects.
