Life sucks

Hi

Fighting RA has been an up hill struggle the past few years. Hands,wrists and foot being the main problems. Tried biologics X 2 but had to come off same due to blood in urine (post dec18)

After extensive tests, at first negative I have been diagnosed with invasive muscle bladder cancer. So another mountain to climb.

Not sure where I go yet re RA meds and the possibility of increased progressive RA.

As I said, life sucks

Hope you all have better luck than me

Lady Jan

So very sorry to hear your news. As if we don’t have enough to deal with when struggling with RA. Somehow, dig deep to find that inner strength. Find a reason to fight but don’t do it alone and lean on your friends and family to support you through your battle. It does help to talk!
