Questions for Dr Seo

[Sangye]

I see Dr Seo next week and wanted to know if anyone has questions they'd like me to ask.Other than some specific questions about my own case, I prefer to keep the questions general so that the most people can benefit. I always ask about the latest research and new drugs.

The questions on my list so far:
1) The RAVE rtx trial used 1,000mg solumedrol for each infusion. Why are Wegs docs using less?

2) Since rtx always destroys the entire B cell population, and it's the B cells that make the trouble-making antibody, how is it possible that rtx doesn't always work?

Those are good questions? I can't think of any.

'There is another...' What is that other monoclonal antibody treatment that starts with a 'G' and why is isn't it being used?

I saw a reference to it somewhere after I saw you mention it and I myself have not followed up on it. Do you know the one I mean?

LOL I'm not sure, me2. Can you do a PubMed search?

I was wondering if he had heard of fillers and which would he suggest is best out of Fillers or Rhinoplasty for a 1 year diagnosed weggie?

Your question #2 is big on my mind right now. I sure would like to know why rtx doesn't work for some of us. Thanks for asking on behalf of the group.

Sam, I think that's probably too specific a question. Even if I had a saddle nose and asked it, I imagine he'd say "That's a question for the ENT." LOL
