I've heard of cases where the disease is aggressive, so doctors give someone a dose of chemo to stop any inflammation that's going on, then have the patient continue with a maintenance med (one of the CRABs). In this case, it's not the same as ablation, like with Revimmune.chrishasms wrote:I hear ya Bob. I'm trying to figure out which way his doctor is going here. I am trying to figure out if he's for the immune ablation but if the guy is looking at Cytoxan, with the Copaxone, maybe he is?
I've never heard of Copaxone with the pulsed version.
So, I think you're right, Chris. It's important to find out if this is actually immune ablation, or a lighter dose of chemo.

Ask him if he means a pulsed version of Cytoxan, or immune ablation with it.
See the immune ablation is a stem cell transplant in effect without actually doing it. When your doc mentioned that it's why I wondered what form of Cytoxan he means. Pulsed isn't the same but the ablation is.

I do appreciate the interest you two have shown. I must not have been very clear about the information I was interested in.

If he says the pulsed version, tell him you want to do Dr. Brodsky's method. Then see his response. I already feel fairly confident he is referring to his procedure already so then you just end up really smart looking.
Please let us know what he says.
