Do you mean busulfan? If so I are you taking it or just considering it? It is not one of the kinder drugs. I was on it many years ago and had side effects including cystitis. I am told It is now not often prescribed in persons under 80 years of age because of its potential side effects

So grateful for your reply. Haematologist keen I go on it, says it would be 2 days of feeling v ill each time and would need to go to bed and take anti sickness pills. Reading about it in Macmillan Cancer site is enough to put anyone off it! Many thanks. Best regards. Tinkerbell
