My husband had UC and ended up only being able to take prednisone. He started getting infusions of Entyvio in March of 2016. July of 2017 he passed away from T-Cell Lymphoma which Entyvio had caused.

I’m so sorry! Please accept my condolences on your loss. UC is a tough disease and some of the treatments are tougher. Fast forward… for me, after using Entyvio, Stelara and Remicade, I am finally in remission on very high doses of Remicade every 5 weeks. My GI doctor does therapeutic drug monitoring every 3 months, in addition to many other serum tests, to make sure the levels are appropriate and working and not adversely affecting other things. I understand that all of these drugs have risks and try to focus on benefits vs risks and on quality of life. I am so very sorry for your loss and I hope and pray one of these medical scientists will ultimately come up with a way to alter the gut flora so IBD can be cured. All these drugs do is control the inflammation; they need to STOP it!! 🙏🏻
