I'm not sure, I don't have an appointment. With the Remicade treatments, I would see him when I got the treatments, because he was usually at the hospital. But when I turned 18, I switched from Loma Linda's children hospital to the Adult Infusion Center. I didn't see him last infusion, so I'm...

Another question I have. I stated that I began Remicade in September, with my loading doses going into October. I have had 7 treatments, and my next one will be on August 12th. On June 18th, I had a CT scan to see where I am, and how far along I have gotten. I was told that I am "making...
