Oncologist shared (small) study showing lesser side effects and same result with weekly cisplatin.....stating three large doses are given to patients who have not had surgery to remove tumors. Our thought is...why not be aggressive and have the same treatment given to someone who still has cancerous tumors? Any thoughts out there? Also, he had surgery, which provided the pathology showing multiple lymph nodes. They told us that information would not have been available without removing the nodes in surgery. How then, do patients choosing just chemo/rad know if the cancer has bundled to more nodes...thus making it a more serious prognosis? Thanks for your time.....really need some help....
