Hi, Does anyone know from a technical stand point how long cisplatin actually stays in your body after each session? I know that there are side-effects, but how long until the drug is flushed from your system?
We tried the feeding tube for the first time today. Just started with 1/2 can to practice. Richard's RO was concerned with not eating much for a couple of days and told us to start using the tube. Luckily things have settled down and the zofran is working. Richard started eating today and if he keeps it down, we can add more calories tomorrow.
