Even IF you don't end up with cancer, AND, I'm sure praying you don't, immunesuppressants, especially Cellcept and Imuran, are prone to increase your risks of cancer (especially lymphoma and skin cancer), you also need to remind your doc(s) of your brother, grandmother, and mother's conditions.

Neuros, generally speaking, don't know a whole lot about cancer risks. You will have to be your own advocate. I cannot take immunesuppressants because of cancers in my family. Fortunately, MY neuros haven't "fought" with me over this -- but, I do know of OTHER MGers who have been give immunesuppressants IN SPITE of obvious risks. SO, be your OWN advocate -- stand up for yourself!

Sending prayers and BIG (((HUGS)) your way!!
