Hope things are settling down. These Weeks 5,6, and 7 of treatment make the earlier weeks seem like a piece of cake in retrospect, don't they? Maybe I'm just forgetting the stresses of that time and maybe we'll forget a lot of how rough this treatment is once time has passed.
Thinking of you guys and hoping for the best.

PS. I too wonder about the differences between cisplatin and carboplatin. Our doc did not recommend a substitution for John's third chemo but rather no third chemo at all - maybe it depends on response and side effect profile. The radiation side effects are enough to handle at this time.
