Are there any drugs that are safe to take for RA if I've had a nephrectomy?

I was taking Enbrel and it worked very well.  Unfortunately after only two weeks of use I found that I had kidney cancer and had to discontinue use of the Enbrel (not caused by the Enbrel, of course).  Are there any drugs that are effective at treating RA and also not too harsh for my one...
