It seems that my husbands extreme fatigue and other symptoms may be related to kidney compromise from the Cisplatin. They are giving him extra fluids daily and drugs to try to bring down his numbers and sort out if it his kidneys are actually compromised or if it is dehydration but they have scheduled an appointment for us with the oncologist to evaluate the third dose of Cisplatin. I would like to know if any of you have had to forgo the last dose? We are both concerned about the impact on survival if the last dose is not administered. However, we also know that kidney protection is critical. We read conflicting things about the importance of the 3rd dose. His nutrition seems back on track.
