How Long Should Intravenous Immunoglobulin Infusions Be Taken?
The recent oncologist has stopped IVIG as of October. The first oncologist in another state told me, when first diagnosed with cancer that I would be on the infusions the rest of my life. While I am 90 years of age, I am wondering the possible reason for eliminating the infusions. I have been diagnosed x-linked immunoglobulin.
