Am I losing my marbles?

[Rebecca85]

I seem to recall a paper being posted fairly recently (Dec/Jan maybe?) about the potential serious risks of different treatments (mainly immune suppressors and biologics) and what those risks are in 'real terms'. But can I find it anywhere? Did I imagine it? Please say someone else remembers the article!

I don't know where to find the rates but i believe just googling Humira and cancer will get you real articles.
I have been told that it still under 1%. that your normal risk is less than half a % and if you double that you still don't get a 1%. So higher then normally but low.

Thanks, that was the gist of the article I'm thinking of. But it explained it in plain English (like comparing it to being hit by a bus or something), I think it was from a conference (so an overall view) rather than a study paper.

Was it the transcript of a webcast from the CCFA site that Brian'sMom posted??

That's the one I was thinking of Dusty. It calmed some of my worries about being on remicade. I also understood it, which was useful!

That's the one, thankyou Dusty! I'm not imagining things after all!
