this might sound cliche...but when the time is righ for YOU...the right decisions will be made. they sort of come naturally.
so if you're having so many doubts right now, it might be best to exhaust all other options before climbing aboard the injectables for RA.
it may seem like a lose-lose situation...i think we all feel this way at some point.
many of the pill drugs for RA carry as much risks as the drugs via IV and injections.
and there really isn't any solid proof that these meds CAUSE cancer. it might just be that people with AI disorders run a higher than average risk of CA just by having an abnormal immune system. (then again...a "normal" person who eats like crap, smokes, takes poor care of themselves...they have an even greater risk of cancer!)
let us not forget that "we" have more control than we think we do regarding cancer risks. don't underestimate the power of spiritual/mental well being, a very good diet, and good habits have on preventing ALL cancers!
when you're ready, the decision to start on new meds will be easier than you think.
take good care.
