HI, my brother (38 yrs old) was originally diagnosed w adenocarcanoma stage 2, had a upper right lobectomy in april 2003, and is currently on cisplatin. The cisplatin however didn't work on him, (although chemo was optional for him). He is now stage 4. The cancer came back with avengence while on cisplatin.. I dont have positive opinions on cisplatin however they say it work on many people. The side effects of cisplatin on my bro werent as bad as other chemos, he had no hair loss and just mild nausea. But consideringwhat hes going through now i would rather the sickness of traditional chemo rather than his current condition. my prayers are with you and God Bless.
