Okay I had told my mom to ask the doctor about possibly having smaller and more frequent dosages of cisplatin like many of you had mentioned. The doctor said the dosage was pre-determined before treatment began based on her weight and will not be changed.

She had her 2nd chemo session yesterday and she said she felt A LOT better than she did after the first. Due to the medications they gave I assume.
