Thanks Cutie pie and Becky and Paul for explaining this more fully. I knew the chemo I had brought certain risks like heart disease, it was the best on offer at the time and I'm grateful for it. It may well lead to some health issue's in the future but it really was all we had at the time, thankfully our sisters and brothers can and will avail of better meds in the future due to research which we all need to get behind.
