Celebrex and Anti-coagulants

On 10/17, my husband was diagnosed with a recurrence of GBM and was removed from his PD-1 trial.  We are now anxiously awaiting another resection and, in the meantime, are investigating potential off-label treatments like Celebrex. Unfortunately, Celebrex apparently increases the chance of bleeding when taken with anti-coagulants, which my husband must take.

I am writing to ask if you or your loved one are taking both Celebrex and Warfarin (or a similar anti-coagulant) and what your experience has been with them. I think this can be addressed by low dosing and careful monitoring, but I would prefer to proceed based on concrete experience than on speculation.

Thank you for your sharing your information.
