User Reviews for cisplatin intravenous

I took cisplatin& etopaside for test.cancer, very eff. for me. I also suffered from loss of memory.So far my short term mem. has returned.Short term side effect.I hope this helps.

My 71-year-old mother received a six-month course of treatment with cisplatin by IV and IP (port into the lower abdominal cavity) and taxol by IV for her stage III-c ovarian cancer. Her CA 125, which was 200 pre-surgery to remove cancerous masses, dropped to 50 before cisplatin/taxol treatment and got down to 3 at the end of treatment. She was declared cancer-free in July '08 and was determined to have a recurrence this month (August '09). Her side effects from cisplatin were nausea/vomiting (mild) and neuropathy in her hands and feet (moderate to severe). Her finger numbness largely disappeared within six months of completing treatment; when it was active, she could not button her blouse, open a letter or write normally. The foot neuropathy remains - she has permanent numbness in her toes and on the soles of both feet, alternating with random shooting pains that make it difficult at times for her to wear shoes or stand up for more than a few minutes at a time. The nausea/vomiting started by the second month of treatment; the neuropathy did not come on until four months in and got much worse between her fifth and sixth (last) months of treatment.Read More Read Less

This is a great drug I recommend it very much so.

BRIEF BOUT OF NAUSEA.

8/2005 i was diagnosed with stage 3b cervical cancer. had a radical hysterectemy. did 6 rounds of cisplatin with 6wks of radiation. just had my 6mo pet scan..and all is good. :)was very sick from side affects...but am alive!!

!5 years ago I received cisplatin IV post surgically for dx of ovarian cancer. In the years since, I hae developed peripheral neuropathy, sepcially in the feet and I am wondering if it could be a side effect from that drug. I also received cytoxin at the same time. Any experiences or anectodotal information would be appreciated.

My husband who has since passed away was extremely sick after only one treatment with cisplatin. It lowered his blood counts so much that he went sepsis and almost died from this treatment.

was very nauseated and weak, but no reoccurrences of germ cell ovarian tumor

Cannot move , loss of balance its nearly six months the treatment end but still cannot walk properly , always diprest , loss of memory, cannot do work properly.

This chemo made me very sick but saved my life!!! They didn't think I was going to make it but thanks to this chemo and radiation (internal and external) I am still here!!! I took this chemo through an i.v. 2 years in a row for 8 weeks once a week.
