Joined: May 2009 Posts: 1,412 | As you all know that I will beginning treatment in a few weeks. I was just wondering if you could tell me some of the side effects of IMRT and cisplatin. I know that every one experiences things differently but I want to be prepared for what might happen so I am not thrown off guard. I do notknow yet if I will be doing 5 fu, as I have not seen the medical oncologist yet, but know that I will be doing cisplatin. Anyway I just want to be prepared as possible. Thanks.
