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.
Becky,

Just curious, did the thymectomy help either of the diseases? They're expecting it to help the MG, but my doctor said she's curious to see whether it helps the SPS. She said she found a few case studies where it helped, but doesn't know if those are the only people they've tried it in or if those are just the ones it helped. Thanks.
