Honey, I have absolutely no doubts about my decision to start Remicade. The benefits of it have far outweighed the potential and/or actual side effects. Hell, I can stand a little itching. It's nothing to being able to live my life without the constant energy drain, without the constant pain (except fibro, which I was already diagnosed with almost two years ago and which has also died down), without the strain of having to live my life under the constant onslaught of this disease.
I know that we all respond differently, so I cannot say fully that it will work for you as quickly or as well as it did for me. All I can say is that I have found it more than worth any risks.
I googled a Health Canada report on it and found out that, if I did my math right, the chances of lymphatic cancer are approximatley .05% and the chances of a malignancy of any kind are approximately .19%. Even tho, admittedly, my numbers are probably a bit off and only based on the one study, still, Possi, those are extremely low odds.
All you can do is try, right? But please, don't lose any more sleep over it. Nothing is worth putting more strain on your beautiful soul.
Many hugs,
