Hello @sksnow,
Good luck with your chemo treatments. If you will be receiving any of the platinum based drugs (cisplatin, carboplatin) they are probably going to be extra vigilant concerning your hydration status and kidney function. Because of the emesis and diarrhea that can sometimes occur with chemo treatments along with a general lack of interest in consuming fluids that can occur they will make sure you are fully hydrated during your infusion treatments. Chemo treatments can also adversely impact your kidneys so make sure they are keeping a close eye on all of your blood chemistries.
Good luck……you can do this!

@sksnow- Hello- It's nice to meet you. I was both excited and frightened about starting chemo. All I was thinking was that I was doing something about my lung CANCER!

What are the medications that they are giving you? I had cisplatin and navelbine. I did have some hair loss but did not lose all of my hair. My biggest problem was digestive acidity and nausea. Were you given an anti-nausea medication prior to today's treatment? If it's not enough ask your Oncologist for additional medication.

Please let us know how it went!

Merry
