    I also was prescribed 6mp for Chrons disease. For five years I took the drug and then found out I had MDS. In searching the internet for drug side effects I found out that 6mp is never recommended for bowel problems and that a result from its use is MDS and other forms of leukemia. Now I’m stuck with chemo for a year and no long term cure.
