Hi Sally,
Sorry for the delay I just got home from the hospital. I am allergic also to Carboplatin. My doctor puts me in the hospital once a month and heavily premedicates me right beforthe carbo. It takes me four hours to get the carbo. I know I get a heavy dose of benadryl, hydrcortizone and the other two slip my mind I will let you know tomorrow what else I get. I hope every thing works out and know you are in my thoughts and prayers if you need me I am here.my side effect were my hands got very red and itchy, and my arms started with a rash and my face was beet red and I also had som wheezing. Take care and I will let you know the other two premeds I get.
