Cancer and MS

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Florence, NJ

Just wondering. Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer. Got that to go into remission 10 months ago. Two months ago I was diagnosed with MS. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same situation, could there be a connection? Especially if anyone served in the military. Or am I just one of the lucky ones.

Two years ago I was simultaneously diagnosed with MS and Hairy Cell Leukemia. Drs say there is no connection, but I am using the same drug to treat both - cladrabine. It's worked well for tha HCL, but still in treatment for the MS.
