I had a colonoscopy done a couple weeks ago which showed inflammation or as my doctor said "Your colon is really angry". I'm currently on Cimzia and have been on it for about 4 years. My doctor is wanting to add 6mp to the mix and I am a nervous wreck about it after reading online. I had my blood drawn today to check my liver and will have a follow up in about a week and a half to see how my results were and if I am a candidate for the drug. The first thing he told me was the chance of lymphoma. Taking chemo and then having a risk of cancer is so scary. I haven't eaten much since my appointment and have been so nauseous. I know this isn't good for my already flaring Crohn's but both of these meds have some crazy side effects and it has me so nervous. He also wants to do another loading dose of the cimzia. he wants to do it once a week for a month.
Has anyone taken these meds together? What exactly does the 6mp do for my Crohn's? I've done a lot of research online but am having a hard time understanding how it will help my Crohn's.
Thanks for any help of insight!
