Might need a new MS DMT
Hi all,
I was diagnosed with MS in 2020, and started Ocrevus shortly after. However, after 5 successful years on the drugs (no relapses!), I was diagnosed with very early stage breast cancer. Thankfully, we caught it early and post-mastectomy, I don’t need chemo. Still, my MS neurologist is strongly suggesting I switch from Ocrevus and other drugs in the same family to another medicine that doesn’t impact my immune system as much. While I understand this choice—cancer kills after all—I’m very nervous to start a lower efficacy MS drug. (My doctor suggested Copaxone [~30% efficacy and Vumerity [~70% efficacy].) I’m going to get a second opinion, perhaps just for my own peace of mind, but I’m also curious if anyone has had to make a similar between the devil and the deep blue sea choice. Interested in any and all thoughts.
Have a read up on Kesimpta
@RC83 will do. Thank you.
