Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 I have had two rounds of Rituxin, or monoclonal antibodies. Afterwards we thought I had had no real responce, and my oncologist was talking Prednisone, vincristine, and cytoxin. When I decided instead to go to Houston and get started on antineoplastins, the tests showed the lymphoma was no longer in the bone marrow- the question is- was it there all along, or did the monoclonal antibodies do more than we thought-I really think it is the later! Best of luck to you. I will pray God's blessing and comfort for you! Melody Corkhill ncmanx@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, recently I posted studies showing that people who used immunotherapy in combination with conventional radio and chemo therapy, had twice the long term survival compared to those that took chemo and radiotherapy with no immunotherapy. Here is additional information supporting that view.

Therapeutic efforts to maintain an intact immune system may be crucial in maximizing chemotherapeutic and/or immunotherapy efforts in this disease.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Hi Friends: Again I am wondering if anyone else has had any experiance with Rituxin? I am stlll alive useing alternative stuff but my Lymphoma condition is getting worse so I am being encouraged by oncologist to take a course in the abve mentioned substance. He says it is not chemo but goes in and tags the offending sick cells and then the immune system goes to the cell and does it's work. I would like to talk to others who have had experience with it.
