Hi Varmint,

Talk to your named nurse asap, the rest of your care team and your GP.

I stupidly put up with lousy side effects because I thought they were inevitable. Anti-nausea, anti-diarrhea, anti-anxiety and  pain relief medications plus laxatives all helped eventually! So did mild exercise and more sleep than I ever imagined I might need. 

Eating little and often, plus keeping hydrated all helped too. 

Best wishes

Dave

Thank you Dave x

Hi there

One thing - make sure you tell your team about the hearing problems as its a side effect of Cistplatin that they need to be aware of. You may need to change to Carboplatin . 
My hubby used acupressure bands we bought from the chemist to help with the nausea - he thinks it may have been a psychological effect but anything is worth a try.

Good luck and best wishes

Emma
