There are many on here that have been through the same tx as you. My husband is now over a year out and doing quite well. As was said above, it is no picnic, but is doable!
It is very important that you have a caregiver. Hopefully you do.
I agree with Davidcpa on the Cistplatin. He has experienced, and so has my husband, hearing loss from it. Maybe it would not be as harsh if they did the smaller hits. You can at least ask.
I know you are in the panic, holy crap mode right now. We have ALL been there and we understand.
Come here with anything you need to know. Between the forums and the site, you're covered with info!
Keep in touch,
Kathy
