Thanks everybody. I'm nearing the end of day two of round one. Cisplatin the first evening followed by now most of a 24-hour bag of 5FU. Nice room, good food, can't complain. Had a bit of nausea in the morning, quickly and effectively medicated away. I could say I feel as if I have a slight hangover, maybe. No other side effects to speak of (yet).

So! Not so bad so far.
