Default HiCy/Revimmune at Johns Hopkins

Hi everyone,

I mentioned this in a thread about a month ago? Lots of people have issues with this - and there's been much debate. I'm not sure why I'm opening this up again....but when I mentioned it on the Tysabri thread, Av8r seemed to think I should Tee hee.

Anyhow, I am in the process of making arrangements with the doctors at Johns Hopkins to have this treatment!

It is a high dose of chemotherapy given over 4 straight days and then they monitor you daily for 2.5 weeks or so.

Basically, they kill your entire immune system and then build it back up.

As far as I'm concerned, it is the closest thing there is to a cure right now. I'm very excited and eager to have this done.

I don't think anyone on NT has had this treatment or looked into it...haven't heard much on here about it. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
