Hi Joy, I live in SC and thought about going to Duke myself, but chose to go to Cleveland Clinic to a well known Wegeners specialist. I think going to a larger center and see a Rheumatologist that sees 100's of wegeners patients is so important.
I had this disease since I was 12 years old and I am 45. She will survive as long as she sees a good doctor and takes her medicines and stays on top of her symptoms and reports any weird symptoms to her doctors.
With regards to her fertility, I wegeners specialist can guide her.
