Ash, Decitibane effects people differently, it is milder than some other meds, sometimes the problems lie within the schedule of treatment itself , your talking 5 days per month for treatment, then blood monitering which could be once per week or even twice depending on whats going on, and the possibility of blood and platelet transfussions because Decitibane supresses counts a little bit, age and health also play a factor, everybody is different, but Decitibane is a good medication with tolerable side effects for most people.Ask your mothers doctor to be specific, is he talking about the medication itself, or the treatment schedule. And as Neil said get a second opinion, especially if you have doughts, when your dealing with duel cancers some doctors are better than others,
