Met with Oncologist today, my initial post Op treatment plan is for 4 cycles of chemo - carboplatin and vinorelbine.
1st week intravenous
2nd week tablet
3rd week rest
4th week start cycle again.
Anyone got experience of this combo? Tips & advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.
I have carboplatin which takes an hour to be adminstered, plus pemotrexed which takes 10 minutes. On the plus side the carboplatin hasnt made me lose my hair. Touch wood.
Good luck with your treatment x
Thank you, i'm already bald so dont have to worry about hair loss !!
