This was so informative and also a hit to the gut. I am a mother of 2, in my 40s, suffering with RA, and my aunt is struggling with lymphoma. This scares me so much. I have been blessed to have a good hematologist and she says I am currently okay as far as cancer.
Thanks so much for your videos.

Is it the RA or the pharmaceuticals used to suppress the immune system? IF you read the circular that comes with Methotrexate, Arava or Humira there is a disclaimer that cancer aka lymphoma can be a side effect of the drug.😳
