We had a good visit with the new doctor, Neil Lava, today. He would like to possibly put Mom on another drug to work with the Methotrexate called Cyclophosphomide (cytoxan). He also said that he may recommend increasing the dosage of Methotrexate. But he wants to wait until after the appointment with Dr. Jonathan Waltuck (the Vasculitis specialist) before any change is done. He knows Dr. Waltuck and they will confer about Mom's treatment. He wants to decrease the steroids because of all the side effects. So, we are hopeful that after the next visit we will have a different plan.
We are all encouraged that both doctors will be working together--what a BRILLIANT idea! Mom's appointment with the specialist is September 14th and I will let you know more after that.
As always, we appreciate your prayers.
