Thanks all for the words of encouragement.

We had another session of Radiotherapy today, and a follow-up meeting with our Medical Oncologist.

One thing that has been getting slightly worse is the ringing in Jen's ear which would happen around 5 times a day in 3-4 second bursts.

The MO decided it was best to be safe than sorry and has moved Jen onto Carboplatin instead of the Cisplatin for the last 3 administrations of chemo.

I know that the compounds of the two chemo drugs are the same and studies show no difference between the two apart from the fact that Carboplatin has substantially less side effects than Cisplatin.

I am curious to know then why if this is the case, not all patients start off with Carboplatin rather than Cisplatin instead of administering it under special circumstances?

Thanks in advance for your help on this matter and look forward to your insights

Jay & Jen
