36 hours post Cisplatin, seems maybe the worst of those side effects are past? Cautiously feeling like this third and, hopefully final, round of chemo is going better than the prior two. Might be too early to say that, as they warned me some side effects may be instead cumulative. Only time will tell. But as of this Sunday morning I've managed a light breakfast of toast, tea and cereal and feel 'ok'. No return of heartburn yet, touch of nausea yesterday afternoon quickly medicated.

Then, in three weeks I'll start 4 or 6 weeks of radiation treatments.

On ward through the fog!
