Help A Family In Need

Above you can see the original x-ray taken by Mark's family physician in 1996, which eventually led to the diagnosis of Wegener's Granulomatosis. You can especially see he nodules on the right hand side (left lung). Unfortunately the scan is not a clear view of the others you can see when looking at the x-ray itself.

The photo on the right is a CT scan of Mark's lungs taken at University of Michigan a few years later. You can see how thick-walled the lesions are. 

The above x-ray and CT scan were used by Dr. Joseph Lynch (University of Michigan) and Dr. Gary S. Hoffman (Cleveland Clinic Foundation and the difinitive expert on Wegener's Granulomatosis) in a medical textbook in 1998 to show "classic" examples of Wegener's Granulomatosis.

Below A generalized list from Univ. of Mich. detailing some of Mark's diagnoses and treatments. This does not include tests from our hometown hospital, nor from when he was first diagnosed. Nor does it list all of his prescriptions, since some have been added since the time this was printed.
