Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Thanks, Gary. That's helpful information to start the conversation with my MO. I just had an apppointment with him--won't have another for 2 and 1/2 months. I'm guessing whatever risks were found to H&N cancer patients were shorter term anyway and hopefully if nothing bad has happened to me yet, I'm out of the risk zone anyway.
Scary, though, how a medicine that is supposed to help you get through treatment better can later turn out to have been more risky than helpful!
