Decided to use the whole kitchen sink. Met with my MO at Wilmont for the first time he even showed me the logarithm from national Comprehensive cancer network (NCCN) google it; decided that cispaltin with chemo is the better bet! smile Now my nursing mind is working in overtime because after my 1st dose yesterday I was thinking if I make it through 2 doses why notlower the 3rd dose if they didn't think I needed it in the 1st place. I know I'm crazy; but you have to admit it is a rationale thought!

cisplatin: 206mg x 1 every 3 weeks; thinking abou tlowering dosage on week 3.
Radiaition IMRT via TOMO 57 gry back of through; 65 gry right side of neck; they want to do left side but Roswell and my ENT disagree!
