The best thing you can do to get thru this the easiest way possible is to make sure every single day you take in at least 2500 calories and 48 oz of water. No skimping and trying to play catch the next day, as tomorrow never comes and it quickly turns into a viscous cycle. Ask your doc about a prescription to get hydrated a few times per week. Drink even more water around when its chemo days to flush that poison from your system. Cisplatin can cause issues with kidneys and hearing. Report any change, even minor ringing to your doctor immediately.

Avoiding anyone who is sick while your immune system is compromised will help you too. With having young children thats not going to be easy as they seem to bring everything home. If necessary, wear a disposable mask while around them, wash your hands and use liquid hand sanitizer. Avoid crowded places as much as possible while going thru treatments.

Hang in there!!!
