After the hearing scare with Cisplatin (Donna and I are rare and special!) I was switched to Taxol and Carboplatin. Weekly instead of every three weeks, concurrent with radiation. Seriously, about the hearing thing, the oncologist, in his 50's, said it has been 20+ years since he has had anyone experience a hearing problem. As far as how I felt on Cisplatin, I was just out of it for three days with all the pills they pushed at me to keep me from vomiting. Slept through all my rad treatments, which are 40 minutes long.
