Hey guys, can anyone offer a word of reassurance? Certainly I'm not the only one completely freaked out by the medications I'm on (Cimzia and Aza). My family has cancer for a middle name. My grandfather died from melanoma at age 32, my mother passed away at 53 from cancer, my dad had lung cancer and grandmother had breast cancer.
Aaaaaaahhh. It's just plain scary,especially being on combo therapy. Does anyone else feel this way?
My GI says that the risk for cancer on combo therapy really isn't any greater than if I were just taking the Cimzia.
What does your GI say?
There are many days where I think I'd rather go back to being miserable with Crohn's than be on these meds long term. I dealt with Crohns without any medications for 17 years (no insurance) and while it really was truly miserable, I figure I made it through 17 yrs with only 1 resection lol. Anyway,
Thanks for letting me rant
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! We are FINALLY getting some rain in California. I've got the windows open so I can smell and hear it. I almost forgot what that is like :ylol2if you're from Cali, you know what I mean!).
