Hi Rob,
Welcome. My mom was treated at U of C. Pretty much the same regimen, with the exception of Cisplatin -- she had Carboplatin. You're going to find this forum to be a great place. I got lucky and found it last Summer. I can't tell you how helpful everyone has been. Glad to hear you are doing well. Take care.
