Con: I had terrible dizzy spells which actually included fainting a few times. After one fainting spell where I fainted & hit my forehead on the vanity in the bathroom, I ended up with a black eye that lasted a month!

Apparently the Cisplatin had lowered my blood pressure and that was the source of my dizziness. I was told to eliminate my blood pressure medication and felt much better when i did that. A few weeks post chemo I gradually re-introduced my b.p. meds.

I ended up taking 2 steps away from a chair and 2 steps back towards it before going anywhere just to be sure I wouldn't faint. Be careful - we don't want to hear that you ended up with a shiner like mine!
