Dad's Radiation and Chemo plan is pretty much finalized. One doctor's opinion was to go for Cisplatin but in weekly doses vs. the typical 3 intervals. But, the team of doctors which have finalized the plan is going for typical 3 intervals Cisplatin 100 mg. Radition is IMRT 6 weeks with a total of 60 gy. Any pro- cons for the Cisplatin in weekly doses vs the 3 interval high dose blast? .
