The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of adding bevacizumab to rituximab compared to rituximab alone in patients with previously treated follicular non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) whose disease has progressed following at least one previous chemotherapy regimen and not more than 2 previous chemotherapy regimens.
Upon determination of eligibility, patients will randomly be assigned to one of two treatment arms: * Rituximab * Rituximab + bevacizumab For every 2 patients randomized, 1 will receive treatment number 1 (rituximab), and 1 patient will receive treatment number 2 (rituximab + bevacizumab). This is not a blinded study, so both the patient and doctor will know which treatment has been assigned.

Time frame: 18 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death or Disease Progression from NHL. Progression is defined using International Workshop Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma as - enlargment of liver/spleen, new sites, new or increased malignancy in lymph nodes, new or increased lymph node masses or reappearance of disease in bone marrow.
