I just went to the beginning of this thread, since you do chemo every 3 weeks then you are likely given fewer treatments at a higher dose. I.e. talk with your MO re cisplatin side effects which you asked for in a different thread.

Re port, that is a snap. Not a big deal at all. It makes everything so much easier, you hardly feel the prick and it work every time. Removal is also easy (15 minutes or so), not quite a quick as the PEG tube, though!
