I got a rash on my face that was successfully treated with minocycline. Also I have more ringning in my ears, which is annoying. I did not get mouth sores or hair loss. Nausea was avoided with the use of zofran,reglan and decadron. I ended up with anemia at the end of treatment. The cisplatin affected my blood counts so much that my doctor lowered my dose to 75%.
