Cisplatin (and radiation) hit me hard. I had to have my second round of cisplatin a week after the ideal schedule because my neutrophil count was too low at first. As for the third one, I was neutropenic and just was not getting any better for a couple of weeks so they just skipped it. There's research that actually shows no diff. in the effectiveness of concurrent chemo and rad. if you get two vs. three rounds of chemo. How hard these things hit you don't necessarily have a lot to do with how fit you are.
