Mike, please include a reference to your source material when you're asking about something you've read and what it seems to suggest. Thanks.
I would doubt sides like low anc, hgb, platelets and thyroid issues would be determined by age or physical conditioning. There are many people on the forum young and old who have experienced a lot of sides and who have experienced minimal sides.
Trying to determine how you will respond to treatment based on how others do just doesn't really work. For some reason I thought you were already treating.
