Just had my first infusion of Carboplatin yesterday and so far no noticeable effects except for a "funny" feeling on the scars of my neck and wrist from the surgery. Nothing was mentioned in the literature about this - anybody else who had Carboplatin have any ideas? Also how long before side effects kick in generally, I only have two more to go and so far this feels a lot better than the Erbitux which started chewing up my skin immediately,
