Anti-inflammatory

My sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer (hormonal receptive) 2 days prior to myself.

She had double mastectomy, then 6 rounds of chemo followed by radiation.

Prior to having cancer she had rheumatoid arthritis.

About 4 months after treatment was finished she had a major flare up of the rheumatoid arthritis.

Her oncologist said that this was expected as chemo works as an anti-inflammatory.  After it works its way out of the system, then the original condition can come back with a vengeance.

I thought that I should share this with others.
