    Thank you everyone.

    My oncologist is changing out the carboplatin that was causing me ear problems for something called cyclophosphamide. This one won't bother my ears but comes with a ton of other nasty side effects. It's going to drop my red and white blood cell count and possibly damage my bladder. Lovely! But it will also kill any cancer that remains.

    Nervous about this round.

    It sounds definitely scary. I'm sure you can trust your oncologist to give you the most effective treatment, while trying to minimize side effects.
    Wishing you strength and sending healing thoughts!

    I am so sorry that you are experiencing all those side effects, and this drug was supposed to be a better alternative to the previous one!
    Sending you healing thoughts, and hoping that your bloodwork will be ok. I hope that your oncologist will come up with something more tolerable this time.
