It's one of those choices my Dr told me about. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. Heck life it's self is a huge risk. I went through the same thing. I had colon cancer, got that taken care of then started Imuran about 2 years later. I stayed on Imuran for 1 year and it did nothing but made me sick as hell. I lost 35 pounds. I am now on Cellcept and doing much better. That said Cellcept has the same risks. Since I went on Imuran I have had 4 skin cancers removed. I have my colon checked real regular and see a skin Dr very regular.

All this said I want to say that Imuran may not make you sick or that Cellcept will help you. All these treatments affect each of us differently. It took us 2 1/2 years to find what works for me. I told my wife when this crazy disease hit me 2 1/2 years ago that this was going to be one big experiment. That's why they call it "praticing medicine".

Good luck with your treatment,
Mike
