I'm sure we've mentioned this before but please watch out for the "ringing" in the ears, which I wouldn't call it ringing more like a ever so slight not constant hum for me anyway with the Cisplatin. I maybe didn't recognize it soon enough and I am left with permanent high frequency hearing loss which, at my stage of recovery, I might rank it #1 in remaining adverse side effects.
