Happy new year to you all. I wish you all a pain free year too.
I had bad news on Christmas eve as i went to the dermatologist about a lesion on my nose which won't heal and has been there for 20months or so. I assumed it would be removed but i got a big shock when he told me it was a skin cancer. i have to have 6 weeks of cream chemotheraphy on it, 5 days per week and then it will be another 3 months before we know if it's gone.
Christmas morning i fell over and banged my face hard on the wardrobe, bloody legs didn't move when i did!!
I was supposed to be starting enbrel in January but i don't know if i will be allowed to now so i suppose i will have to wait until i see the consultant on the 11th.
Also got a virus, bad stomach last week and now painful ribs from it.
Keep smiling all of you, it's a new year!!
Love Shirley x

Oh Shirley. What a start for you. I've never heard of cream chemotherapy before. Hopefully you will get through all this with the minimum of discomfort-will be sending up special thoughts for you. YES I'VE CHANGED, PAIN DOES THAT TO PEOPLE.

What a dreadful start to the year for you. I hope the treatment for your skin lesion works well and also that you are soon free from your virus.
Thinking of you.

Hi Shirley, Just caught up with your post, what awful news to get. I do hope your treatment is successful and you are given the all clear. Did you not get it seen to in the last 20 months, what were they saying about it then. Lots of good wishes for a Happy New Year. Take care Lorna x

Hello all Thanks for all the replies. Just to update you all i have been to see the rheumy consultant today and was given the choice of enbrel or humira and i have chosen humira, just because it is an injection every 2 weeks rather then weekly, being the coward i am!! My skin cancer is very red from the chemotheraphy cream and because it is only topical it won't effect my RA treatment apparently. I am very pleased about that!! Love Shirley x

Dear Shirley,
Great to hear you can have the humira treatment!
I hope the skin cream chemo therapy deals with the rest.
Thinking of you,
