Oh David, I'm so sorry to hear that. My Rad oncologist and my other ENT intimated that they feel the same way about the relative value of Cisplatin and Carboplatin but as my chemo oncologist said, Carbo doesn't have the depth hand breadth of clinical numbers regarding SCC that Cisplatin does -- Cisplatin has better clinical results and, more importantly, much much more data (according to her research) so she goes with it In healthy patients (well healthy minus the cancer) to maximize the chances -- it's aggressive, but if it works for you, you have a better (on paper) prognosis. I'm glad I let them know about my side effects, though. One thing I'm not shy about is communicating.

Thanks for the feedback!
