Hello Ive had crohns for 34 years now and just taken pentasa had a ct scan and low and behold they found a striture with lovely big yellow ulcer there too.
Anyway so they said they going to try azathioprine to DELAY surgery ?
I said no because i read the side affects and it freaked me out and maybe i read a bit to much and scared myself silly,
Thing is ive already had cancer of the lymph glands ( Hodgkins Disease) 12 years ago. Anyway they talked me into it and ive started taking them 2 weekly blood tests 50mg increasing to 100mg been on them for 3 weeks now just starting to get a bit of back ache and muscle pain but nothing to cry about see how it goes. I was wondering if Ive made the right decision because of the blood cancer and if anyone out there has had previous cancer then put on aza
2 bowel resections
medication currently taking on pentasa.questran.azathioprine. had budedesonide for 3 months.
They really dont like doing surgery nor that i want surgery but this is only to delay surgery because i dont think this stricture will get any better its nearly closed up so im confused and and scared of what is to come.
