Hi there,
I have a question to all of you. Have any of you had cancer prior to a Fibro diagnosis? I had hodgkin's disease 16 yrs ago and have been in remission since then. I was treated with radiation treatments and I was wondering if there is a link between cancer and autoimmune disorders.
Thanks for the input
Lisa

As I understood it, fibro isnt an autoimmune disorder. I could be wrong... I have had three surgeries for possible precancerous cells. I don't know if there is any connection or not. I am glad you are cancer free now... I hope it stays that way.

Hugs, Karen...

Right now research says fibro is not autoimmune.

I never had any history of cancer. Had fibro over 20 years.
