I've had 3 Aunts on my mothers side die from lymphoma type cancers. The threat of this scares me. Has anyone had anything pop up during the use of this medication?
What about the chances of developing lymphoma with the use of Humira?

I am also on Humira and have been for almost a year, I do know that one of the risk factors of developing this, is having a family history of Leukemia or Lymphoma, My father had Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, which my Dr. is aware of, She says, the risk is still very low, she herself has never had a pt. develop either one. I just weighed the risks with the benefits and due to the severity of my pain. I chose Humira.
