Mark,

My neighbor had a terrible time with Cisplatin and lost 14 pounds in the first week. Sounds like you are having similar issues. Do you have a PEG tube?

Good for you for keeping up with the daily rad treatments...I'm sure that's really challenging.

I hope the infusion before helps. Are you getting weekly doses or 3 big doses of Cisplatin?
