Suggest Treatment For Orbital Inflammatory Pseudotumor

Good day, My daughter, Monique, now 18 years, has orbital inflammatory pseudo tumors behind her right eye. She has lost quite a bit of her sight in that eye. She also had about four surgeries because her eye was pushed out really far outside her head. Recently, after complaining for pains in her legs and back making her almost crippled, a PET scan was done only to find out the inflammatory mass has moved to her spinal column. she has been on prednisone and rituximab infusions and we are now waiting to see if that will help her. Apparently her symptoms keep changing from benign to malignant which is confusing to me. I am seeking guidance for her here in Georgia please help me. Patricia Rhymer 678-600-3338. YYYY@YYYY Thank you!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the way you described the condition here is not possible it must be some lesion behind the eye but it can not travel or move right down to the spinal cord, you have not given the medical report of her here in exact way as it is being written in test report or diagnosed, else some right advised would have been given, it may not be malignancy hope this information helps.
