Effects of Chemotherapy On Ms

Is there any evidence that Chemo is not good for patients with MS?

Actually, it could be the exact opposite case. According to some things that I have read, chemo might actually be good for people with MS.

"Doctors report promising results using huge doses of a potent chemotherapy drug to treat autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, though only a handful of patients have been treated so far and one MS researcher said far more study is needed before any victory is declared."

You would definitely have to talk to your doctor more about it though.
