Hi Ilias,
My name is Cindy. I am on my 5th round of cisplatin and gemzar cocktail. My regimen is 2 weeks on and 1 week off. The first week is the cisplatin and gemzar cocktail. The second week is only the gemzar. The cisplatin is very strong. It takes me about a week to recover from the nausea and weekness. Make sure your mom has good antinausea medication. It will help a lot. I feel very good durring the second and third weeks. The gemzar is not bad at all.
Stay strong and best wishes for you mom.
-Cindy
