I appreciate that, guys. In some ways, I would have had to fight pretty hard to stay on the Cisplatin, anyway. My chemo oncologist had pretty much decided that I was not responding acceptably and that it was simply more dangerous to continue than she felt comfortable with, hence the switch. Regardless, what is done is done, and I won't look back.

In many ways, the complexity of the argument is steeped in some subtleties I don't really have the energy to research thoroughly. Instead, I will move to this regimen, I will continue to do what I can do and hope for the best and I will continue to do what I can to win this fight.

One thing for sure, though I will do almost anything to win, I am not nearly educated enough in these medicins to demand she stick with Cisplatin when she feels it will do as much harm as good.

I do wish these treatments were more absolute, although if they were, I suppose, we wouldn't all be unique little snowflakes!

Thanks for all of the input!!
