Hi Markus,

My husband had 8 weekly treatments of Cisplatin.
They did administer about 800-1000cc of saline prior to and following each treatment to keep him hydrated,as well as him drinking plenty of fluids the next couple of days.
They also administered anti nausea meds along with the "pre" chemo saline bag. They put in magnesium in the post therapy saline bag.(helps to maintain kidney function) His chemo days lasted about 7 hrs.
His weekly Cisplatin doseage was 10mg.
He had no problems with hearing, hair loss, or nausea.
The oncologist recommended doing the 8 weekly treatments because he said some patients aren't able to tolerate the Cisplatin X3. He said some aren't feeling well enough to finish that last one.
We are almost 8 weeks post treatment now.
His taste buds are pretty good now and he eats pretty well and we are looking forward to getting rid of his PEG in a few weeks.
I hope you are doing well.
Vicki
