Amen to that David! It always seemed worse a day or later and stayed bad until just before the next round. But as I recall the large bag (glucose) was not brown it was almost clear. Probably depends more on the supplier although I would imagine that Cisplatin and Zofran would only have one source. Actually looking back at my drug information sheets, it is also known as Platinol so there may be different sources and delivery methods.

Lisa,
Some others here have gotten carboplatin and taxotere or taxol and it always been a debate to do radiation first or last. In some cases they want to shrink the tumor pre op so they'll radiate first. I don't recall seeing that protocol in the NCCN guidelines so it may be off-label or part of clinical trials (but I could be wrong about that - I am just walking out the door and will check later or if someone else wants to check the NCCN guidelines feel free)

Taxotere original indications for use was for colorectal cancer and is now indicated for pancreatic cancer as well.

Taxol was originally indicated for breast cancer.
