It is common when getting the 3 big bag method of chemo the third dose either gets cut down in quantity or omitted. My second dose was cut in half and the third one completely cancelled. I didnt mind at all, I was so sick I couldnt have tolerated any more chemo. From what I understand the first dose helps considerably with the second and third doses helping much less than the first one. My doc explained that the third dose only helps a very little bit so its not a big deal to skip it. I suggest talking in more detail with your husbands doctor about what impact it could have on his chances of completely eliminating the cancer with only his current treatment. I would also ask if he should have another chemo for the third dose.

Cisplatin does have some side effects. Hearing loss is the most common problem Ive seen patients have with cisplatin. Then the patient is usually switched over to carboplatin. I think Paul had some pretty big kidney problems. Im not sure if his problems were due to cisplatin or another kind of chemo.

Im very glad to hear your husband is doing well with his intake. Great job!!!
