Although its not the same treatment, I stayed in the hospital for the 5 days of TPF Induction chemo, Taxotere, Cisplatin, 5-FU, back in 2009, as was the protocol. Now they may do it as out patient with a fanny pack, like I believe Don had, but know of one patient last year, another site, who had it overnight, 5 days also. I guess It's probably dependent on the hospital. I can see both positive and negative aspects to this, mainly positive. I'm more concerned with hospital borne illnesses, mostly seen in ICU, severely compromised patients, lengthly stays, having been though them, but we go to the hospital anyway, everyday, for radiation treatment. it's just one of my learned fears that took me a while to get over, but I never forget them.

With Cisplatin, and most other chemo's, other medications may also be administered, besides saline.

Good luck.
