I am currently in treatment under the RADPLAT protocol under the doctor who pioneered this version of intra-arterial delivery of Chemotherapy. I had few effects that were not manageble and have seen outstanding results so far. For more details, check out my introduction. Although I have seemed to weather this well, I have watched others at the same hospital have it a bit rougher. If anyone has any questions about this procedure, I would be glad to answer what I know either here or via e-mail. I mananged all 4 chemotherapy treatments and have only 7 of the 35 radiation left. Even those are changing to a more narrow scope so hopefully some recovery will already begin from the radiation.

At the hospital I go to, it is the standard of treatment as opposed to being in Trial. I feel confident with the crew that has done this and would suggest the RADPLAT merits investigation if you are facing disfiguring surgery as your primary option.
