@ralpg2024 Thank you. May i ask if you are anywhere close to my age. 72. They say the side effects are more likely to happen the older you are.

@shirley71 I am turning 80. My Dr said
he wouldn’t recommend it as you would most likely get dementia. I am treating at Allina Cancer center in Anoka, MN.

Hi @shirley71, I'm just checking on you? How is your treatment going? What did you decide?
