Skin biopsies

Just a quick vent: had three biopsies today. New “suspicious” growths since I started Stellara as an experimental treatment for the joint pain and swelling. Been on many DMARDs and Biologics, never any issue except the TNFs turned my Lupus into a raging monster.

Now possibly cancer? Sometimes I think the treatments are worse then the disease. (Which of course I know is just how I’m feeling now, I’ll snap out of it.) Just would like one week of good or NO news!

Ok, end rant.

Update: unfortunately two of the three came back positive for early stage cancer. Will e getting treatment ASAP. Luckily not metastatic and only one will require routine monitoring.
