Re: I'm doing clinical trail for Rituxan

[Guest guest]

I was going to do this study, but moved to a different state. I¹m currently

looking for a doctor

that is doing the study. I have read about the Rituxan and would love to

get into this study.

I¹m sorry you are probably in the placebo group, but hang in there. Soon

they will give you

the real thing if you¹re not already getting it. I hope it helps you.
