Well my Mum has been told no treatment is available and I just hope that is not because of her age, the family has been told months rather weeks, but we will see. I saw my ENT doc on Monday and he says to operate would possibly make things worse. I have a paralised vocal cord and to repair that would make worse the 30% of narrowing of my trachea, so when you ask about side effects, remember that some are so rare that no-one ever mentions them. Once again thanks to all my friends and fellow travelers.... Sunshine... love and hugs Helen
