what medication could be next .

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

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!

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 .

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
