-I don't know if you can locate a physician who will administer Rituxan for an agressive NHL or not. The drug is only approved for the slow-growing, indolent cancers which are so difficult to treat sucessfully with regular chemotherapy.

-We just received news yesterday (5/13) that my father cannot produce enough stem cells to continue the stem cell transplant process - devastating news. Without an adequate supply of harvested stem cells, we are unable to perform the planned high-dose chemotherapy. The doctor provided NO alternatives to treating this highly aggressive NHL. I am currently trying to research clinical trials which he would be eligible for. Any immediate suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please see my original message below which I posted on May 12th.
