Radiotherapy with cisplatin - has anyone had this? Wondering if I should go ahead with it or not

Offline Carella 2 months ago

Not sure if I am in the right section. I had endometrial cancer, had a full salpingo hysterectomy with ovaries and lymph nodes removed. Cancer had spread outside womb so

I have had 4 sessions of chemo, packitaxel and carboplatin. Was ok no really bad reactions but now I have got to have 5 weeks of radiotherapy with 2 courses of cisplatin.

Am more worried about this than anything I have gone through before, the side effects seem much worse. Has anyone else on here had this treatment? I am really wondering if I should go ahead with it.

Hi

I had 5 Cisplatin and 25 radiotherapy sessions. I didn't have any nausea with the Cisplatin. I had tinnitus but it didn't last long. I didn't sleep well on the days I had it but I think that was more to do with the steroids I was given beforehand. Overall I had an okay experience with it.

Hi you two. Thanks so much for your replies, they do make me a bit less apprehensive. Hoping that as I tolerated the carboplatin ok , this will follow. Definitely feeling a bit better about it. Thank you again x
