jcawork Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hi, I start this single chemo this Wed. I got some feedback from my last post on this, but most feedback were from people who recieved combo infusions (carbo and CPT-11). I am looking for feedback from anyone who just recieved CPT-11 and what the side effects were, how the infusion went etc.... Thanks, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkathi Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Jen, Is CPT-11 Cisplatin? If so let me know. My dad is receiving cisplatin infusions with nothing else. He has not had any side effects, a little tired but no nausea. kitkathi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi Jen, I received cisplatin & camptosar (cpt-11) on day 1 and just camptosar on day 8 & 15. It took about an hour alone just for the camptosar. It never really hit me until the next day then I would get tired. As long as I took my anti-nausea medicine on time I did not get sick, just felt tired. I recovered about 2 days after. Hope this helps.
