However, I'm feeling like it might be better to either stay on the CTX a little longer or start the RTX a little sooner and not have a gap with no treatment between the end of the 2nd month and the beginning of the 4th month, if that is what you meant. Or the CTX and the RTX could overlap for a time, unless someone knows of a reason they shouldn't. I just don't think most people go into remission after 2 months of CTX, though I'm also not sure if that's what you meant. These are just my gut feelings, and of course, everything would depend on how the patient was responding to the treatment. It appears there are many creative and innovative treatment schedules that can be followed with the WG meds, and I like seeing that, as long as the docs are experienced and know what they are doing. Would be interesting to know how a WG specialist would respond to your theory.
