Good luck with treatment. Watch out for constipation. Cisplatin and/or anti nausia drugs really screw up the whole solids processing. Have a piece of paper by the medicine stash. Write down date, time, and drug. I found it very hard to remember what I took and when. Strap yourself in tight, the next 14 weeks are brutal. Have a driver on call at all time, you might not need them but its good to have. For me chemo days, driving was impossible.
But for me, 9 month out, the ligering side effects are just a mere inconvience. Although having to get only mild chicken wings at the bar is not quite the same.
