I have a feeling her prescribing the MTX is for the same reason: it's generally safe and will pacify us until she can confidently make a WG diagnosis.
That may read harsher than I intend. We really do have confidence in her ability to treat him.
As my rheumy recently told me, "the issue is the tissue." They want a positive biopsy, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen. My lung nodules have always presented one a time. Current is single nodule in the upper right lung. So I don't get why they are hanging onto the bilateral nodules thing. Sorry things didn't turn out the way you wanted them to. Hopefully you will have more answers on Monday and they will be positive. Try and have a restful weekend.
