A member asked:
Saw rheumo today- said we are going to look for wegener's disease? is that curable? i don't want to be on steroids my whole life- nor cancer drugs :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not curable: Wegener's can very extremely serious and unless treated can lead to major pulmonary and kidney disease among other issues. Wegener's does not always require life-long meds but early diagnosis and treatment is essential.
