A study came out in 2011 that showed a two fold increase in hematological malignancies in those that use acetaminophen 4 times a week or more.
Since those of us with multiple myeloma are often given acetaminophen in the form of Tylenol, Vicodan, Norco etc, is it something worth trying to avoid?
Since we already have this blood disorder, I would think we have systems that are naturally sensitive to certain environmental conditions, ie too much acetaminophen. If the general population has a 2 fold increase in risk, could we have a 10 or 20 fold + increase in risk?
Is it possible that the constant use of acetaminophen during our treatment could be partly to blame for some of our relapses?
