Is There A Likely Causation Between Rheumatoid Arthritis And Lymphoma?
I have Rheumatoid arthritis and SMZL. Both diagnosed around the same time. Could the lymphoma have been caused by the RA?
OR
Is it more likely that RA was caused by the Lymphoma.
PS: I am on wait and watch for the SMZL (so no treatments yet).
Armen,
Hi! After my chemo I started having severe arm and shoulder pain. After seeing an Orthopedic Dr I ended up per my Oncologist at the rheumatologist. Here I have PMR. It's an autoimmune disorder too. I believe that the chemo had something to do with it. I have to be on Prednisone for 18months. I've gained 40lbs on these steroids unfortunately. But I'm 90% out of pain now. However, RCHOP saved my life. I hope you have a blessed day. Kelly
Thank you for your reply. My best wishes to you.
As it is an auto immune disease your cancer and the inflammation that caused it are all interconnected.
Hi Kelly,
Thank you for the reply.
I wish you permanent inner Peace.

All I know is that I have arthritis & I have SMZL but I am 70 & I had some physical occupations so ...........
I Have RA And Was Told I Have B-Cell Lymphoma. My Spleen Is Twice The Size It's Supposed To Be. Can The Test Be Wrong Due To The RA?
I Suspect The Cov'd Vaccine Triggered Lymphoma
I Have Developed Arthritis In My Wrists And Hands And Wonder What This Might Mean.
