I don't know if it would help, my husband who is in a similar situation with mets to the lungs is receiving taxol and carboplatin. The side effects seem to be less severe than when he had cisplatin. He has diarrhea for a few days (takes Imodium to help with that), joint pains for a couple of days (takes Tylenol) and that is about it. We are waiting for the CT to find out if it has worked.
