Cisplatin - effects right away - 02-23-2009 04:06 PM
Hi. John will be starting treatments this week. His first radiation treatment will be this Thursday. He will be receiving Cisplatin every Friday (starting this Friday) along with radiation (IMRT) every day for 7 weeks. My question is, will the effects of the chemo be immediate? He seems to think he will be able to drive himself back and forth to his treatments. I have read a lot of information about the side effects of the radiation but haven't seen to much about the chemo. Thank you again for your help. Wanda
