Thanks for the replies.
Hopefully when he has his bloodwork done tomorrow, his creatinine level will be better. He was supposed to get his third Cisplatin treatment last Friday, but it was cancelled due to what his doc called "acute renal failure." That said, he didn't think there would be permanent damage to his kidneys.
If the creatinine number looks good tomorrow, the plan is for him to get Carboplatin instead this Friday.
