You didn't ask me but I will tell you MDA seems to have gone for the 6 Cisplatin protocol. The reason for this is that so many people seem to not be able to get through the 3 mega, and they feel the results are the same. I did see a study about it when I researched it before I had the Cisplatin, and the study (just one study) showed that 6 cisplatin was as effective. Some others may tell you otherwise. I do know MDA used at least some 3 mega sessions a year before I got there so they may have just switched.
