My ENT took it very seriously. Stopped the Remicade and for the last year I am clean. I still have to see him every 4 mo for check-ups. I do have cancer now but its entirely different. I was really shocked when they told me I have a rare salivary cancer. I would have guessed tongue cancer. My biggest fear is that it could metast... to my tongue or floor of mouth. Good luck.
