A P.S. I quess: and I know there is probably no good/clear answer but one cannot help but wonder what effects on the body, (bones) etc the HYDREA has. I know that without it I would probably have worse consequences but I guess we will all have to wait and see what the long term effects of this chemo has on who and how many. That is one thing I think is beneficial about sharing on a place like this with many others who are experiencing same and possibly different things.
