Hi ,After cystplatin and vinerabaline ,day 4 or 5 I was usually light headed and breathless which sort of passed after a while, however I was still a bit odd and shaky I just put the whole thing down to my altered blood chemicals and the 'chemo effect' everything feels really different .I am now several months past chemo and feel more like my former self so that's good .Hope this helps I had four cycles of this chemo and each cycle was worse than before. Good luck its all horrid this chemo ,but I would have rather had it than not in the belief that the rogue cells are wiped away and perhaps this cancer hasn't got a hold and won't return.Diane .
