UPDATE FROM 8-27 POST

CT Scan from last week turned out good. My Dr. and I discussed being able to take up to a 4 week break from the Cisplatin if the CT result was favorable. I arrived Yesterday and the break was "A Go" until I showed him my right foot which I cut 8 days earlier and ends up the foot was full of Staph and Cellulitis. I took an hour drip of Vancomyacin and sent home with oral antibiotics too. Good news is, next week if the foot is on the mend, I will most likely take one more Cisplatin, and then take a break.
Best
Mike

im sorry to hear about the hospital stay, My dad spent 5 days in the hospital after his first cisplatin, it dried out his kidneys.
i hope all goes better for you. All my best, MichelleMichelle

Sorry to hear about the cellulitus. You can kick that then on to a much deserved break!

Mike,
Ouch, that sounds good! I never would have thought to injure my foot,
Enjoy,
Matt
I have had Staph/Cellulitis 6 different times earlier in this journey, but my last case was 2 years ago. I got complacent by that, and with my blood counts low, I developed another this time.
