I'm not sure if its the Cisplatin or the steroids? It seemed to stop when the steroid course ran out. The nausea continued but the hiccups stopped.

Kris had the hiccups for 14 days. Just a weeks respite before the next dose of Cisplatin and it all starting again. We are sure it was the Cisplatin. Nothing stopped the relentless hiccuping. They went all night too.
The experience was so terrible I know that he would never have any further chemo.

My husband was given a choice between Cisplatin and Erbitux and I remember them telling him one of the annoying sideeffects of Cisplatin could be hiccups. More common in men than women. Hope this helps.


Husband: HPV16+ SCC base of tongue 2 nodes+
7 Erbitux doses, 70 gry completed June 9,2014. Now we wait!
