Bone Cancer Treatment with Enbrel

I would like to know if there is anyone else being treated with Enbrel and if the Treatment is working for them, and if they had any other nutritional help for bone cancer. Thank you Domino

Hi, anyone who is interested in information about this cancer can contact me. Good Luck, MiMi

Saw your note and want to know what information you may have on bone cancer. I think I have it but can’t get much info. I got prostate cancer in 1994 and had radiation and I am still having problems. The cancer got into my bladder and lymph nodes. Got good results with the radiation. Now I am having these knots and swelling in my joints and on my bones. I have had a MRI but can’t get much info out of the doctors. The pain is almost unbearable. I take lortabs and ultracet. One doctor said he didn’t know what it was but there was something on the MRI. He wants to cut to see. I don’t think that is a good idea. If you have info about one cancer, please let me know.

I have adema carcinoma cancer, which originated in the prostate and went into the bones. I have been taking Enbrel for three prior to finding the cancer. Are you saying that you are being treated WITH Enrel FOR bone cancer? I am trying to find out the if there is any cause for me to be concerned about being on Enbrel while my body is fight this cancer.

I really want to know who is treating you for bone cancer with Enbrel. I currently have bone cancer and also take Enbrel for arthritis. I am trying to find info regarding the enbrel and cancer.

My family physician, who is specialized in Internal Medicine, took me off Enbrel after I started getting all kinds of side effects related to the immune system. He feels this medicine is high-risk, has not been on the market long enough, and not very well studied. Have you read the entire insert with all side effects.

I am feeling so much better without this, and am not taking celebrex only occasionally, and am looking into ayurvedic homeremedies, and they appear to be surprisingly powerful.

Now notice, I am very much into cutting edge science and medicine, but I would think twice taking this medication. It tinkers with the TNF (Tumor necrosis factor), in the immune system, doesn't that tell you enough.

 Also Enbrel has a risk of neurological side effects, including depression. Read the insert, ask your doctor to open up the Pharmacopidia and read to you what trouble this drug can cause. My physican thinks it has played a major roll in my onset of major depression, which was a journey of 365 days to hell and back....

All I can say is be very careful with new drugs, and do your own research. I was to eager to try this drug to get rid of my psoriatic arthritis. Now I am close to the point to managing it naturally, instead of using $1500 a month drugs...
