I had cisplatin x 2 and if I were to have it again I would know how to combat what was my biggest problem - my blood pressure! My B.P. dropped like a rock and I became like one of those "fainting goats" (fall over at the sound of a loud noise). This problem made me feel weak, dizzy and very tentative until we figured out that I needed to lose my B.P. medication.

In the end, they decided only 2 cisplatin seeing as (in the MO's words) the surgery was "somewhat successful"...lol I do get a charge out of hearing other specialties grudgingly acknowledged.

You'll get thru it. Anti nausea meds are expensive but well worth it. My advice would be if you take b.p. medication - watch it closely during chemo. I didn't see any difference in the radiation itself as opposed to the first time I had radiation.
