Hi all,

As part of my wife's Tx, the doctor asked us whether or not she would be interested in taking 3 larger doses in week 1,4 & 7 of Cisplatin rather than 7 smaller doses each week.

He said that there was some evidence to suggest that by administering higher doses have shown to improve prognosis (although inconclusive) but it comes with more difficult side affects to deal with afterwards.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
