No. I have 2 conditions: my bladder is 100% precancerous with a high likelihood of becoming cancer, and an autoimmune disease that steroids didn’t treat. The chemo will most likely help with both.

Do you feel comfortable sharing the type of autoimmune disease you have?

I hope your chemo goes well.

They’re still trying to pinpoint it @HollyHobby . It attacks my joints, connective tissue and the white matter in my brain. They’re still running tests. My labs are very abnormal.

I don’t produce the protein that you excrete when you have MS, and it doesn’t attack the myelin sheath around my brain and spine like ms does.

So even though it attacks my brain, it’s not MS, because it’s attacking my actual brain matter rather than the sheath around my brain.

It’s also not lupus. It’s most likely not rheumatoid arthritis either.

My dr says there are many conditions that can cause all this. He says he believes we’ll eventually pinpoint it.
