Raymond......thanks for the update. I, too, had both cisplatin and 5fu. I was hospitalized because my chemo was a 5 day 24 hour drip, with radiation continuing everyday while I was in the hospital. One thing I wanted to mention is that you need to pay close attention to any hearing loss or ringing in the ears. If you experience either of those symptoms let your oncologist know ASAP so they can change either the dose or the chemo chemicals. You COULD experience a permanent hearing loss if don't mention it. Even though this is a tough treatment regime, it is doable and you will get through it. Continue to keep us posted. Sincerely, Donna
