My Dr's all combined have maybe 3 Wegeners Patients so their knowledge in treating Wegeners is not going to be on the same par. My Doctors couldn't wait to get me off the Cytoxan because of the fact that if taken over long periods of time can cause cancer of the bladder. I don't expect people to flood him with questions but if you just give his information to your Dr's and say here is a specialist who's willing to answer 'your' questions then you will do yourself a great service and your doctor too.
In truth knowledge about our Disease is limited in scope and as we all know; the drugs to treat it can be counted on one hand. So Doctors that are willing to talk to each other and share knowledge is a plus for all of us as well as our Doctors....
