Platinol is the Chemo they are using.

I start Monday with my first Chemo and Radiation. It will be a long-assed day.

Any opinions on Platinol?

My type of cancer is colorectal, so my regimens were different.

From my experience, the radiation doesn't wipe me out, but the chemo certainly did for a day or so.

I wish you the best - good luck with it!
