Trouble had 5 treatments of carboplatin.  Her side effects were very mild, within 12 hours (except for one treatment) she was recovered.  Her blood counts stayed good, there were no delayed treatments.  Ask for an anti-nausea medication, she did have mild vomiting about 6 hours after treatments - a couple of small gaks, nothing major.  I bought puppy pads and put them under her when she'd start to get sick.  I didn't want her to think she needed to make it outside. I think before the third treatment she had an injection for nausea before the treatment, but I really couldn't tell much difference. She had chills after a couple treatments and I'd wrap her in a blanket or towel and hold her for body heat until it stopped - just a few minutes, again, nothing major.

Dr F and Bob had to convince me to do the chemo.  They both told me if it was too hard on her, we could stop treatment at any time.  Hopefully, you and Charlie will have a relatively easy time also.  We'll be sending good thoughts your way.
