Now, know this. Every human has different responses to different treatments. ie Radiation therapy just gave me a sunburn and bad sore throat, lost my taste for months…but all got better in time.
However, this 5FU-Cisplatin chemo combo was a rough one for me and I got it my 1st treatment. It was nasty….in a big way! It put me in the hospital because I could NOT stop throwing up every hour or so for 2 days.
In the hospital, I was on a steady IV drip of Ativan for days to stop me from puking. It finally worked, but the ATIVAN gave me horrible hallucinations day & night until they took the IV out.
So, the 5FU-Cisplatin was very bad for me! So much so, that my doc said if he gave it to me for my 2nd treatment the following month..it’d kill me. So we changed!
So my Doc ,thankfully, switched me to CARBOplatin which I tolerated MUCH better.
Everyone’s different, but that was my experience with it!
Good luck!
