ALK mutation
I'm waiting for a scan after three sessions of
cisplatin
and permetexed to see what's happening. My oncologist is looking at targeted therapies, does anyone have any success stories or have been on any of these drugs for some time? I think they are looking at crizitonib or Ceritinib?

Neuropathy info please
I'm beginning to develop neuropathy after the second dose of
cisplatin
(swopped to that due to carboplatin allergy). As walking and knitting are two of my main activities and part of my social life I'm worried about this.

Chemo and mets
Hi, I'm on my second round of chemo tomorrow permetexed and
cisplatin
. I am stage 4 lung cancer I have mets on my liver and spine. Can chemo kill the mets. The oncologist said they need to keep an eye on my liver because blood showed high enzymes? Could this be chemo working? Or mets growing?

Here we go again - cisplatin this time
After reacting to carboplatin (3rd line) twice they have switched me to
cisplatin
. I hope I'll be alright with that. The doctor said I would have all 6 doses which I was disappointed with as I'll be in treatment until May, having started carbo in November, but if it works, it'll be worth it.

Adenocarcinoma with brain mets
He had 5 days of whole brain radiotherapy in December and started chemo- pemetrexed /
cisplatin
on January 5th as they were too busy to start it before Christmas. He had no side effects from the chemo first time round, 2nd session is this Tuesday.

I have two more sessions before permetexed maintainence is this a good thing to be going on maintainence so early or

Cisplatin anyone?
It was working so seems to me that the most similar other chemo, which seems to be
cisplatin
, would be my best option. Does anyone have experience of
cisplatin
that they could share? I can't see a doctor for another 10 days so would like to known what questions to ask when In see them. Thanks

Cisplatin/Vinorelbine and diabetes
He is to be started on
Cisplatin
and Vinorelbine very soon. He also has had diabetes for some time. I am assuming he will be at increased risk of peripheral neuropathy because of his diabetes.

low platelet count?
She was on taxol and carboplatin at first, though she has been switched to
cisplatin
because it apparently affects platelets less.

Still here ....
Weekly
Cisplatin
since April accompanied with LOTS of steroids and other stuff have indeed shrunk the Tumours to- bearable- to -live -with -for- a -bit ...so , Oncologist reckoned more chemo would do little and in the scheme of things , a rest until we need to go at it again , would be in my best interests

Next step chemo.
I am due to try this in 2 weeks as adjuvant therapy. 2 years ago I had Vinerobline and
cisplatin
however it was stopped due to the toxicity which didn't agree with me. Thanks. xx

Cycle 2a - put My audition for strictly on hold!
The combination of chemo drugs Gemcitabinee &
Cisplatin
are attacking the joints on my right side. Shoulder, elbow, hip & knee which has me shuffling around & needing help to stand.

She has lung cancer and has had 4 cycles of
cisplatin
/pemetrexed - she is now on maintenance pemetrexed only on a 4 week cycle (4 weeks rather than 3 as she had quite a lot of side effects initially).

Platinum resistant
After six long months of second line chemo with
cisplatin
I have been told that it did absolutely nothing and that I am platinum resistant. Was on Gemzar with
cisplatin
but that was stopped after six doses as nausea was so bad. Oncologist now recommending Taxol for 18 doses.
