Chemotherapy and radiation and MS

[Good_enough]

Hello.

I am currently on my 2nd week of chemo pills and radiation for rectal cancer

(Yes...colonoscopies are worth the trouble)

I had to stop tysabri for this treatment. My MS is wacko, more than usual.

Does anyone have experience with this?

I was taken off Tysabri when I was doing radiation and chemo treatments. Week after chemo I had a major exacerbation and was in hospital for ten days and then transferred to an assisted facility for two months recovery. My white t-cells were out of wack and no more Tysabri for me. I have been on Aubagio for sixteen months now and doing great. Chemo and DMT’s doesn’t mix well 😖. Last two MRI’s were stable and no new lesions 👍🙏🐾. Ken

Thanks Kenu. That's helpful and I will keep aubagio in mind.

So glad you seem stable now.

They're checking white blood cells, so far, okay 😊
