Hi Guys,
I was diagnosed with RA ten years ago. Had to eventually give up work. I have been on mtx and remicade for the past four years. I am 3 years post-menopausal and last week had a 'period'. Saw the GP straight away and have been put on the 2-week emergency referral programme for possible endometrial cancer. Am seeing the gynae on Monday - three working days after seeing the GP. GP advised, obviously, to stop taking mtx immediately.
Anybody else had experience of this? If it IS cancer, doesn't the mtx hinder treatment? How long does mtx take to clear the body?
Sorry to hear that, how stressful for you & hope you get answers soon. It took about 5/6 weeks for me to flare after stopping MTX but this is purely anecdotal so hope you get better answers from someone. You could try ‘search’ under ‘more’ at top for cancer, MTX and RA; pretty sure i’ve seen others on here where RA symptoms stopped with cancer treatment. Hope it isn’t that, kindest regards x
