Hi LovinLife,
Welcome to the forum. You'll find a lot of support and advice from people who are experiencing GPA/Wegener's. It seems that your wife's docs have her on a standard protocol to get the symptoms under control. At some point in the next 4 - 6 months, they should explore switching her to another maintenance drug such as imuran or methotrexate.
Make sure she stays well hydrated while on cytoxan. Also, tell her not to hold her urine. The metabolites of cytoxan are nasty. A side effect of this drug is bladder cancer. (I was on it at similar dosages for 16 months ending a bit over two years ago. So far, so good with side effects.)
Hope all goes well with her treatment.
Pete
