I also had my 3rd big bag dose of cisplatin cancelled. From what Ive noticed with OCFs thousands of members who also were given the 3 big bag delivery of cisplatin, more than half have the third dose cancelled. How it was explained to me, the first dose is the biggest and most important one, the second is a lesser quantity and third even less which does not make much difference if eliminated. The chemo makes the rads more effective by targeting the cancerous cells.

You're doing GREAT!!!! Keep up with pushing your daily intake, even if its just 2 more bites or 2 more sips of water. It all adds up and will help make this easier to tolerate. You also have your world-wide cheering section here on OCFs forum to help you along. smile
