Hi, likely because you are trying to make an educated decision. It can be difficult when you are the one who resides in your body and gets to be responsible for the outcome.
I get frustrated, to put it nicely. Especially when continuously reading from a poster on here who almost feels to be pushing meds, with if u don't your more likely to get cancer. Statistics are numbers that can be applied in a vast amount of error to accuracy. Some of us are out of or are limited to options med wise, or have already had one form of cancer or more, have situations that could be made worse as the warnings are written out, and a slew of after effects from possible meds already taken. I believe we are just trying to survive, and no one should be trying to scare anyone into doing or not doing. The 'you might get cancer' if you do or don't is a rotten 50/50 choice for those of us who actually have a form of ibd. Have you ever heard the 'you read the warnings, you knew the risk, and you wanted to take it'? Medication is a very big decision and should be taken seriously. So, that's why you probably read things... It's your body and you are responsible for what you put in it. Not the ones who are not in your body saying do it, don't do it, if you do, if you don't. I am sorry but it is difficult being the one who is actually faced with the choice and lives with the outcome. You are educating yourself, trying to make the best decision for you.
be well
