Anyone experienced constipation or acid reflux taking Hydrea?

Two things I do remember by doc saying is it is pre cancerious and very low risk, but can turn into cancer at any time, thats why they are doing the 3 month blood tests.
Also in 3 weeks I go in for a PET scan. What is it and what does it tell? Any one else have a PET scan?

A PET Scan is useful for Detecting cancer in the body. Since you’ve not had one before this first one will be a good reference point going forward.
A little information about what a PET scan is and how it’s done.

There are several discussions from other members who have had the scan either to help diagnose a disease or for checking progress in treatment or looking for recurrences. There are also other applications for the PET scan.
Here’s one of the discussions for you. More can be found by typing in PET Scan in the upper search bar.
