Well I had my first Cisplatin treatment yesterday and was a bit surprised at how they do it - so maybe I need to learn to read?? I had 2 hours of hydration, then the cisplatin, then another 2 hours of hydration. I then had to go back today and am due there tomorrow for hydration. I have had no nausea - am taking Kytril? and another drug that starts with a "p" and ends with an ozone or some such. So far so good. My radiation treatments seem to be taking forever as they are still taking multiple x rays and images to get the next 31 treatments lined up/confirmed. Makes me feel a bit uneasy and I thought they had done this before - but they say it is normal with some new procedure they are doing. I'm all for advancement and if I hadn't had radiation before I guess I wouldn't think anything of it. Just wanted to let you all know how it was going. So far, so good smile
