        My Dad had 3 Yerovoy treatments at age 83. The worst side affects(and only-really) were the diarhea. It was severe for sure and he had to go to get fluids on a few occasions. You just have to stay on top of this and you can get some great results. My Dad did have tumors that shrunk and disappeared all together. He was stage 4 and is still alive after 13 months since then. He oly completed 3 treatments as his blood pressure and diarhea becam out of control This treatment is time released and you dont see it working until several months after treatment stops.My Dad improved and we are still battling. Good luck to you!
