Does anyone have any experience of the after efects of cisplatin?
I have not had a platinum based drug for 2 years and
cisplatin
is being suggested rather than carboplatin because I have reacted to the latter in the past though was still able to have it in the slow regime described by others.My oncologist tells me that it is pretty rare to have a reaction to

When will I feel a bit better?
On 26th of July i was diagnosed with sclc t4 n3 m1b to brain, I started on chemo etoposide and
cisplatin
on Tuesday 31st July. I had not been feeling great for about 8months previously but nothing specific. Since my diagnosis I seem to have pain in my back and have been coughing so much.

Cisplatin & Gemcitabine what to expect? Any advice?
She will have 4 rounds of
cisplatin
& gemcitabine then hopefully tomo therapy. Has anyone had any experience with these? What side effects did you have? Wishing you all health & strength!

Tinnitus! Anyone else developed tinnitus as a result of chemo?
I was warned that
cisplatin
could cause hearing damage and, true enough I developed tinnitus! It comes and goes but today it is bad!

New "girl"
I have started another chemo regimen, this time
cisplatin
by drip every week and etopicide orally. I am due to have another CT scan at beginning of May to find out if this chemo is doing the job.

Taxol
I asked about
Cisplatin
instead and GOOD news, they will keep it for next time (if need be). This isnt quite the GOOD news I wanted to hear, serves me right for asking! Is anyone else out there in this situation with the taxol and how is it going.

BRCAness is anyone aware of this ???
The Prof had it all arranged for when I went into his room and I am to continue on
Cisplatin
and Gemcitibane with with a 30% reduction in
Cisplatin

Confused
The treatment that has been suggested is something called ECX (epirubicin,
cisplatin
and capecitabine) which having read the information leaflet is usually used for stomach and gullet cancers, but I presume they know what they are doing.

BACK ON MY BELOVED AVASTIN
No chemo has ever confined me to bed but the
Cisplatin
/Gemcitibane really is a killer. I had my scan last week and the result was total standstill, which to me I am happy with, I just don't want the tumours to grow. However the cancer marker has gone up 100 to 370.

JUST KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE WITH LATEST TREATMENT
My Oncologist decided to take me off the
Cisplatin
/Gemcitibane regime that was causing my bloods havoc, as I constantly was receiving blood or platelet transfusions.
