Hello Rosie,
I had 4 shoots of cisplatin to treat my stage 4 tonsil cancer. I was given an injection to prevent nausea before the chemo. No hair loss and there was buzzing sound for a while after completing treatment but it disappeared gradually. Now my hearing is very normal.A well known side effect is you will feel very depressed. There are also some long term side effects you may have to ask the doctors but at this stage the most important is to stop the tumor from growing in Heather's body. Hope this helps.
Karen stage 4 tonsil cancer diagnose in 9/01.
