Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | I start chemo on Monday. I will be getting low doses of Carboplatin and Paclitaxel weekly for 7 weeks during radiation. I was wondering if anyone here has done same. Also wondering what side affects you encountered. I have sheets on both of these from U of M but thought some personal experience from our members might help. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
