I have just started my second round of chemo. Cisplatin and Etoposide. My treatment yesterday was supposed to be a 6 hour treatment with Cisplatin first followed by Etoposide. When Etoposide was added, I had a severe reaction of strong back pain. Demerol, Dexamethosone, and later when I started flushing with heat, Benadryl were all added to the iv. A rest period to give time for the drugs, then Etoposide was started again with no issues. This happened on my first round too. When I awoke this am, I was very nauseous, and felt yukky all over. I did not want to eat, but cooked up some farina (cream of wheat). The more I moved and was physically active, the better I felt. I ate my breakfast even tho I was not hungry. I'm going to keep mild exercise in my 'tool kit' for when I don't feel good. Hopefully this is a tool for both of us. It's not a long trial, but did work this am. Blessings and good wishes for your journey. VLR
