That never happened and I don't think the Mofetil is helping, but won't know for sure for a couple weeks when she gets blood work again.
He also, doesn't think she can handle the ctx even tho she had a one week pulse dose with no problems.
He wouldn't do plasma exchange either.
He claims to have 30 years experience with vasculitis, but I don't see it.
I'm sure it is because she 76 years old with copd, but I believe every life is worth every possible effort regardless of age.
I think I need a 2nd opinion.
