Thank you all for your support. I had my second dose of cisplatin yesterday. A lesser dose weekly for the last 4 weeks. I haven't been nauseas yet, losing some hair on the back of my neck. The ringing in my ears seems the same, or a little bit louder. I'm not sure yet. The thrush seems to be getting a little bit better, so I am able to swallow a little more. Not enough though. The PEG goes in tomorrow. I will continue to swallow throughout. I just couldn't imagine not being able to eat the way I used to. ..Today is hump day for me as far as Tx goes. 18 days down,17 to go...
But I know it certainly doesn't end there.
