Hi Everyone,
Have a question for those who have been on Entyvio. I asked my Doctor and he really didn't have an answer.
I've been on Entyvio for about 2 years, and although it helped my Colitis, during that 2 years I developed bladder cancer. My Dr. sid the Entyvio only targets the colon , but I'm just kind of doubtful because before this I've never even had a bladder infection or anything wrong in the bladder. It's really stressing me out and causing me to doubt everything. Thank you for listening and God bless.... I know you have your own problems. Thank you so much.
Oh, Also is there anyone who stopped Entyvio and was given a different medication that wasnt a biologic?

So sorry to hear of the cancer diagnosis. Did the doc say you have to stop Entyvio? Unless you can find something conclusive that Entyvio caused the cancer I don't think I would want to stop it if it was working for me. Other than mesalamines the only other technically non-biologic med I know of is Xeljanz.

How do you treat bladder cancer?
