Azathioprine aka Imuran is a drug given to transplant patients, those with severe arthritis and others with auto-immune diseases, like Ulcerative Colitis.
TW’s been taking this drug for quite some time and it’s worked pretty well, compared to the other drugs she tried. She’s pretty good about slathering sunscreen on if we’re outdoors for an extended period of time but probably not as good about it as she would have been had she known that she had an increased risk of skin cancer because of the Imuran.
If it’s not one thing, it’s another with these darn drugs. If it isn’t the original disease that gets you it’s some side effect or increased risk from the drugs. It’s darn frustrating.
