>Dear Jacky,
I have not had carboplatin, however, I have been told that it is much easier
to tolerate than cisplatin and is somewhat easier to take than many of the
chemos out there. Keep in mind that everyone is different, and many times
it's just wait and see how each of us tolerates any of the drugs. I had a
NSC tumor marker come back last week which was elevated. This was the first
time I had heard about NSC. Can you give me any info. I am 3 years post
diagnosis for small cell bladder cancer and 1 1/2 years in remission. The
best to your dad.
