Cisplatin
Hello Friscok12
I'm sure forum members will respond to let you know their experience of Cisplatin; I just wanted to let you know it's normally given three-weekly.

Thank you thought it was weekly xxx
You can always give your CNS a ring to double-check the plan for you individually if you're not sure. It's most commonly given 3 weekly but your team will make treatment decisions based on your personal circumstances. I hope treatment goes well - do get in touch if you need any information.

Mine was given over 3 days within 21 days. It was high dose and they were trying to string out delivery over 3 days to lessen possible impact. Didn't work but they tried.
I had 4 treatments of Cisplatin and Alimta. The worst part for me was the steroids before the chemo! I hope all is well with you.
I think there are different ways of prescribing it and different doses. If it is part of the Rotterdam regime (with etoposide tablets) then you have it weekly for 3 weeks, 2 weeks off, then weekly for 3 weeks again.
