@rimaronye Last year I went through 4 rounds of Cisplatin & Alimta and remember reading in "the fine print" that how you feel is not related to how it is working, even though people always think if they are sick it must be working or if you aren't then it must not be working. I was like you with very few issues so I remember being glad to see there wasn't a correlation. Anyone on your oncology team should be able to confirm that for you- I recall those who did the injections were well versed in side effects of the different meds, such as most people with my combo didn't have hair loss (which I had just assumed would happen and was happily surprised to not experience!)

@bluelagoon- This is an excellent post and you are correct, how side effects do not indicate if your chemo is working or if it is. I actually have been thinking about you lately. How have you been this year?
