Thanks All for the support. Don, I appreciate the advice and will keep it in hand. I had already received my first treatment prior to reading your post (I had a violent, chill-like shakes reaction, nurse stopped treatment, gave me a benadryl and a steroid injection, and when I got calmed down resumed the treatment). Not sure what the Doctor will make of that but I meet with her prior to my next treatment. I must say I haven't had the nausea the Cisplatin caused me. If she mentions a switch I will definitely mention your carboplatin suggestion and see what she says. Start Radiation tomorrow so time to "Lock & Load!"
