I have an appointment in the morning with my new neuro and plan to discuss the issue with him.

Thanks for any info you can provide. Again good luck on your upcoming surgery.

Sorry I'm replying so late. I've been at a family reunion all day, so hopefully you get this before your appointment tomorrow.

My neuro was actually not sure which to put me on as she has patients on both and hasn't come to a consensus as to which works better (she specializes in MG, and a few other neuromuscular problems, if you live on the east coast, I can get you her name--she said she has patients that come from as far away as Porto Rico).
There's a pathologist who runs the apheresis lab whose taken an interest in my case. I think he was pulling for the Cellcept due to a promising study he read, so she decided to go with that one.
