Talked to a OC patient Friday that hasn't begun Tx yet but he was telling me of a NEW miracle chemo his doc has recommended and wanted to know if I thought this chemo alone could cure him. Tonsil primary with mets to 2 nodes, HPV status unknown. I asked him what was the name of this miracle chemo and he said it started with a Cis and I said Cisplatin and he said Yes, that's it! Help me!
