Just got back from the dermatologist since it was my 4 month checkup. Two years ago I had sereral skin surguries for basil cell cancer on my face across the bridge of my nose and cheeks. Right after the cancer, I was diagnosed with RA. Now it turns out the RA and immune suppressant meds I'm on cause more cancer. I got zapped about 10 times for new precancerous lesions. It was pretty depressing. I already have 30 stitches in my face and now the doc wants me to wear gloves. Has anyone else out there had cancer?is there any other english for basil cell cancer. i can not get it translated.

So sorrry you're having to deal with so much. Treating each of these things can be so frustrating. I hope you get some helpful responses (as opposed to the one already posted before mine). Hang in there.
No cancer, but i got this not long after i was diagnosed with polyps in my uterus which could lead to cancer.
Maybe there is something to do with what causes cancer and RA being in the same boat.
