I am always very careful to keep all my doctors in the loop about what's going on with my body and I discuss the risks carefully with each of them before I make decisions concerning my treatment.~Mariah~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18167493614638596254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512094385883127902.post-76989772019020978092012-01-20T18:52:20.648-07:002012-01-20T18:52:20.648-07:00If they got it all, then it was probably basal cel...If they got it all, then it was probably basal cell cancer NOT melanoma. Melanoma spreads throughout your body. Basal cell is localized and just slowly grows. There are no conclusive studies linking Enbrel to skin cancer. I had basal cell skin cancer removed from my forehead after my 4th baby was born. My rheumy is VERY conservative about these things and she feels comfortable with me staying on Enbrel. I'm extremely fair, blue eyes, freckles, a family history of various skin cancers, and grew up down South before everyone knew you needed to bathe in sunblock. The alternative to not taking a biologic makes me very comfortable with the risk. :)Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512094385883127902.post-60007686580584629562012-01-20T17:52:27.377-07:002012-01-20T17:52:27.377-07:00Enbrel has been linked to skin cancer.

But my mind might be failing me. Just wanted you to be aware of this given the pre-cancerous state of the skin. If after your pregnancy you have to go back on TNF's this should be a big consideration in my humble opinion. Be sure you mention this to your ra doc. And keeping you in my prayers that all goes well for you!Deb aka AbcsOfrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619087592028571941noreply@blogger.com
