how long

Hi Jules

I had carboplatin with a different mixers. I think it took about 6 hours or so. If I can remember the first one about 10 minutes, an hour of fluid, I think an hour for the carboplatin (cisplatin I believe was two) and then another hour of fluid after,

I would give the nurses here a call about what is best for the constipation. Call  0808 808 00 00 and this should get him going. I doubt they will delay the treatment, however you are warned it can also make you more constipated, so probably best to get him going before the treatment too.

I did do a post the other day on my experience which I will post the link here too about chemotherapy. A couple of others had your Dad's chemotherapy and also wrote about there's so may help too.
