Hi Bennett, just a few comments of interest. The cure for lymphoma foundation's [CFL] November 17th newsletter had a nice report on C2B8[rituxan] featured on the front page. The following is a quote from Wendy S. Harpham, M.D. " After living with this disease for seven years, through seven various courses of treatment, here is what C2B8[rituxan] means to me... The availability of this treatment tames my greatest fear- not living to raise my children... It is very possible that C2B8 alone can keep me alive with a good quality of life for many, many years... C2B8 allowed me to avoid the acute and long term toxicities of chemotherapy...[it] has not eliminated any standard treatment options for me should the C2B8 no longer be effective against my lymphoma at some time in the future."
I also understand that Idec was mentioned in the latest Fortune magazine as the next potential blockbuster biotechnology company to watch. I have not actually seen the article but read a short blurb summarizing the article.
As always, I enjoy your comments and posts.
