I was given cisplatin the way you mentioned above. My third round of it was cancelled due to being so ill. Dont know if it was from the chemo or just radiation getting the best of me. Without knowing anything about the other drug it would be impossible to give any type of opinion. Thats all anyone here could give anyway is their opinion. The difficult choice is completely up to you and your family to discuss and decide upon.
Im sorry I wasnt able to assist you.
