I did a quick search on OCF for induction and found a poster Pam M who decided to go with induction therapy and apparently did okay. Perhaps she will weigh in also. I remember she was torn between differing doctors opinions over whether induction was too aggressive or not. You could always start it and if it's too much just stop it. Still 3 out of 8000 is not a large cohort so I think that yes, right now induction is not common.

Frank,
The MO stated that his plan would be to start induction and if side effects were bad enough he would just stop and go to regular CRT. Then come back after CRT is done and maybe do the rest of the induction. His main goal is to do as much as possible to rid my body of any small cancers that may be in my body but not showing on the current test results.

Thanks again,
Don
