Cisplatin: What side effects can I expect?

@earscan- Good morning. I had cisplatin for lung cancer in 2007. I'm sorry to tell you that it's very rough on the digestive system and did lower my blood counts. But it is great chemo. What I did was take lots of antacids and I had an anti-nausea pill that I took as soon as I got home. It also made me very tired. You've had chemo before so you know what that feels like.
Were you told that this is one of the chemicals that you will have? When will you begin chemo?

Yes, they said if my lymph nodes were positive, that's what I would have. My biopsies are Dec 2nd and I find out Dec 8th. If surgery is good, I'm in; otherwise, I'd rather get on my boat and go down the St. Johns River and wrestle with my little granddaughter while I can!
