my daughter has a rare lung cancer they started her on cisplatin which was too high for her it made her really sick her creatine were really high for a week they changed her plan to Carboplatin and Alimta. and looking at your video she has had some side effect like having the feeling like a pit in her stomach one thing I noticed is she is constipation but she also has gas build up and she is so much pain. so I got her gas pills and it helped out so much

I expected that there would be some information specific to carboplatin and alimta regarding their specific purpose and effect. I stead, just a super generic chemo presentation.
