Has anyone been on Cisplatin (with/without Etoposide)?
A few days ago I asked if anyone had experienced pain with Caelyx but turned out mine is due the cancer having spread and the 4 months of Carbo/Caelyx I've been having, not worked(2nd time around). Consultant is suggesting (last resort? I've had this cancer 5 years) Cisplatin with Etoposide tablets but

Severe anemia
Since diagnosis at the beginning of May I have completed three rounds of FCR treatments. The first cycle went well and before second cycle my blood counts were close to normal (low lymphs). After second cycle everything started to go down and my third round was put off for two weeks while my counts improved

My sister was helping me with my clown makeup.Next thing I know she was screaming for my mother to look at my eyes. They were bright yellow, also known as Jaundice. I was taken to Walter

A Week in a Life That I Wish Hadn't Happened
After being denied Xtandi, and approved for Zytiga, I was looking forward to moving on. (difference $1000) Last Wednesday, I had another bout of Melena, and wound up in the ER. And, again, my bladder was blocked up. My Hemoglobin was at 7. I had the Zytiga with me just in case I could start it while
