I have observed at least on this site that the ones getting the weekly doses seem to fare physically better, i.e., less nausea but Moffitt's concern is is that approach just as effective as the 3 bag method of assisting in the kill rate which according to my MO there has been no study on that point.

Thanks for the above and I wish I had been able to read that prior to my Tx. It's like an instruction manual. This should be required reading of any Cisplatin recipient.
