The CCC I am going to provides a choice between the full dose Cisplatin and weekly dosages. Tomorrow will be Cisplatin treatment 5 of 7 for me.

It usually takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete the whole process -- insert the IV, draw blood, get the results back, run some hydration, take Decadron and Zofran pills, take the Cisplatin. I also have daily Amifostine for my radiation.

So far, no hearing issues, minimal to zero nausea, some fatigue, no sense of taste. So far, so good.
