Hello all. I'm brand new to the site. I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in September 1999.
In October 99 I was diagnosed with non Hodgkin lymphoma. I successfully underwent chemotherapy and was in remission in May 2000.
In June 2002 I underwent a bowel resection for my Crohn's and have been very well since.
Last Monday I went for a colonoscopy and the doctor told me my Crohn's is active even though I feel 100%.
He is keen for me to start humira in the near future but obviously I'm not so keen with the past history of lymphoma already and the risks involved with it.
My question is has any member previously had non Hodgkin lymphoma ever gone on humira and the bigger question is how did the fare out on the drug?
Many thanks
Paul
