  1. Melody, my normal blood pressure is like 116/65, but the very first day I went for my chemo, it was through the roof. It's the stress of the unknown. As this all gets to be routine (and sadly, it does) you'll just do what has to be done, and your BP will settle down.

    I had Carboplatin for two of my regimens... I think the first and third ones. It's a cousin to Cisplatin. I tolerated it OK. No major nasea or anything, but I just didn't feel like my normal self.

    Good luck, and try not to stress out, lady! :)
