I was diagnosed with breast cancer about a year after my RA symptoms

started. I was not on a TNF blocker then. I was on mtx, but actually

had been on that only about six months. I've always wondered, though,

if the cancer had anything to do with my RA, since the RA compromised

my immune system.
