OP Platinum Member (300+ posts) Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 309 | Went for appt yesterday with oncologists. They are suggesting IMRT radiation x 33 treatments. Also suggested was Cisplatin x 3. I asked about breaking up the Cisplatin and he said he does not endorse that way of doing it.
So, I have a question - to those who have had Cisplatin - Was it bad? Does it make the radiation real bad? He said the effects last eight weeks after treatment - which effects? Does the vomiting last that long?
I am debating on whether to say yes or no on this part. Thanks for any input.
