Many patients do not get the final dose of Cisplatin because of averse effects. If you are still able to drink Ensure you are doing not too badly. One patient I met at the hospital was taking an hour to get a bottle of Ensure down. That’s probably the norm rather than the exception. Hang in there, you’re doing very well. In a couple of weeks you will start to feel better.
