Angel-You should check and see if your town or county has transportation available for doctor appointments. Our town runs a van but it's only available a few days a week. As for the Cisplatin, Neil had the smaller doses once a week for 7 weeks. He had it concurrent with the radiation. He did not lose any hair or hearing. He was nauseus in the beginning but the meds they gave him worked for the most part. It was hard to say what the worst side effect was because the radiation made him feel so horrible we weren't sure what side effects was what. The exhaustion was the worst part in terms of getting on with daily life. Good Luck!
