Well, if you are hoping that the chemo will thwart any drug use in a UA, sorry it won't.  If you were going to say that you are on chemo and that's why my UA shows opiates or marijuana positive-it won't fly.  Yes chemo is hard on your kidneys, and your electrolytes over time are affected but it won't be a cop out you can use.  You haven't given much info, so I'm just assuming here.  If this is not the info you need, please give more information about your question.

UA: Abbreviation for urinalysis, a test that determines the content of the urine.  (I think that's what they mean, but I'm not sure.  Wrong forum maybe???)
