Guest guest Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 A year after my RA symptoms started, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have wondered if it had anything to do with RA and my compromised immune system. I was on mtx at the time, not on Enbrel yet. I was lucky that it was caught very early, by a routine mammogram.
