what medication could be next .

[MorganCat]

I’ll try to keep this short . I’m on methotrexate and hyrimoz (humira) . Was admitted to hospital over a month ago with high liver enzymes and gallstone pancreatitis. So had to stop all my medication . When they did a Ct scan of my abdomen they found a mass on my lung and I’ve been told it’s lung cancer with the idea of having surgery .

Presuming now I can’t go back onto hyrimoz what medication do they offer next ? Or do you think that’s it medication wise for me .

My next appointment is in a couple of weeks .

I'm sorry to hear that MorganCat, what a nasty shock for you. I can't answer your question but just wanted to wish you well with your surgery. x

thank you .

wait to see what your docs say, but seems that it is common to retun to anti-tnfs (like humira) after a diagnosis like yours,

Good luck with the cancer treatment - hope they can get it all!

[MorganCat in reply to helixhelix]

that’s interesting, the hyrimoz was working but because I was really ill in hospital with the pancreatitis the thought of injecting again is filling me with dread . I have a pet scan on Monday so fingers crossed just in the lung surgery and back to normal .

I've got nothing useful to add but wanted to wish you all the best Morgan

In your position I'd be asking lots of questions and getting professional advice. I'm so sorry you've been given such awful news and hope you find a way to get through all this. Perhaps also contact organisations like Macmillan (spelling?) for more help and advice. Wishing you well

I just wanted to send good wishes.
