I need encouragement/advice
I am about at the end of my rope and don’t know if I can do this any more. I need support and encouragement. I was diagnosed with severe UC in 2019 with a couple hospital stays, started remicade, then switched to Entyvio. I was in remission on Entivyo until this year. At the end of February I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and started chemo therapy on March. The chemo triggered my UC to flair out of remission and is considered severe again. I spend a few weeks in the hospital. I had to stop chemo early due to my body not being able to handle it. I’ve been dealing with this flair since March. Steroids do virtually nothing for me. I had a mastectomy 2 weeks ago and recovering during this flair has been hell. I started tremfya 1 week ago and am still having symptoms. (I know it can take a while). Today was a terrible day, so much rectal/abdominal pain, tensemos, blood, and mucous. I have not been able to leave the house in 2 months other than for doctors appointments and have resorted to have to wear briefs everyday. I never thought I would have to battle cancer and UC at the same time and it’s breaking me. I need some encouraging words. TIA.
