Interesting about the drop in blood pressure. My husband who was hypertensive prior to his treatment had a problem with his blood pressure dropping into his boots if he was up sitting or standing for any length of time following the treatment. It started after his first dose of the cisplatin and never did get better. He finished his treatment in March and had the problem the remainder of his life.
