Hi there, I have been on and off Celebrex for years for inflammation and I still got breast cancer, so when I fractured my shoulder celebrex was the only anti inflammatory drug that gave me relief but unfortunately I developed fluid on the lungs which caused back pressure to the heart and I was having trouble breathing, so the celebrex was dropped. I also developed inflammation that only responded to Bruphen so I had to juggle them. I then developed a lump in the side of my neck and various scans and ct showed I had a thyroid problem, the thyroid problem took precedent and my treatment with thyroxin and the underlying lump put me into cardiac tamponage so I was in hospital for 7 dyas, but the lump kept getting bigger so after persistance I eventually I got a fine needle biopsy and the lump had cancer cells present, and obviouisly present since June 2003 when I found the lump, so I am now scheduled for radiation, in my case I would not think that the Celebrex has been of any use other than for my shoulder.
Hugs from Lyn
