Hey Lizziecee I wanted to thank you on this information that u posted. My nephew was dx with Crohn's Disease in 2011 at the age of 14. but unfortunately the meds. he has been on isn't helping him & it's getting worse it's spreading all though his Esophagus, stomach, Digestive track & Rectum. the next step is Chemotherapy on Methotrexate I was pretty unsure & then when I ask how long would he be on this Treatment the doctor stated "FOREVER" now me being a Certified Medical Assistant I know that when ur WBC is low ur body is septic to various infections & thats my worry but before he starts Chemotherapy we have two doctors appts. for 2nd & 3rd opinion to see what other remedies are out there for Crohn's Disease knowing that there isn't a Cure & Methotrexate is NOT FDA approved.
I'm sitting in the hospital with my mom who has crohns and who just had a masectomy. Your post about your experience with chemo as a crohns patient is exactly the kind of info we are desparately looking for right now. I cannot thank you enough. God bless you.
Thank you for being so informative and sharing your story. I'm still learning about Crohns disease (dx 5 yrs ago) & have been told that I need a resection done...now. I'm very scared and wondering what my future holds. Thanks for being a positive person. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates your courageous attitude.
Thank you for everything!
