My husband had 3 mega doses of Cisplatin. The MO ignored our side effects but he made it thru that initial treatment. Numbness, hearing, mouth sores and ringing in the ears.

Then they wanted to do additional chemo and that was when the bottom fell out for us. A 4th mega dose of Cisplatin and IV 5FU resulted in a chemical burn. My husband hasnt had chemo since March and is really having a hard time.

Everyday I wish I had known to ask for the weekly dose. And said what the hell are you thinking when he agreed to the extra chemo.

But everyone is different. It is my understanding that if they think you can take the larger dose then that is what they do because it has the better results.

Good luck and eat all you can for the next few weeks.
