(Hic) I have had two out of my scheduled three Cisplatin infusions. (Hic) Both times I have had a weird side effect (Hic) that I have never heard of anyone else having. (Hic)

Anyone else hiccup violently for a few days after Cisplatin? The usual controlled breathing/diaphragm relaxing techniques stop them temporarily but they keep (Hic) coming back sporadically for two or three days after infusion, then they just fade away.
