Unchecked autoimmune diseases tend to raise cancer rates, too. In which case now you have cancer and an active autoimmune condition... so you should've just taken the meds in the first place :P
Plus, as I've rationalized it for myself: you have decent odds of surviving cancer if it's caught early enough, but damage to your organs/skeleton is permanent and irreversible.
- hirvi74 3y ago> In which case now you have cancer and an active autoimmune condition Good, then the chemo can kill two birds with one stone. ;) I'm kidding, but it's not like people without AI diseases are immune to cancer. So, I'd imagine it'd be kind of hard to definitively link causality. Everyone is focused on the cancer side-effects, but that honestly seems like a lesser concern to me than some of the other potential side-effects of some of the biosimilars. > damage to your organs/skeleton is permanent and irreversible There are a lot of cancer survivors that would agree and are living examples of this statement too. Surviving != a full recovery.
