This website is great first off and I'm glad there is a place to go and get real answers. I have 7 weeks of combined Cisplatin and Radiation, I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this treatment protocol and at what point does pain become a factor? I know we are all wired different but after 1 week, I feel little to no side effects and/or pain. I am not nieve to think that its not coming but I really want to avoid a feeding tube if possible. Also, does anyone know if the Cisplatin builds up over time? How long does it stay in your system after the 7 weeks?

Thanks for any and all feedback!
