Hi sorry you're a member of our club but it is a good club for information. With regards to the cisplatin weekly, some hospitals do it that way as opposed to the 3 big bag method. So basically it's less cisplatin but more frequently - ultimately it ends up being the same amount and more tolerable. I had the three big bags... ;o) well two of them as we ran out of time for the third and I'm told that happens a lot. The radiation seems like more than what is normally prescribed, but I am sure they have good reason for doing it that way. The average is 33-38 usually 35. I had 33 but only because I had had surgery so rads and chemo was meant to be a safety harness. ;o)
There are a lot of side effects of radiation. Look them up so you are educated and have a good idea of what to expect so you can prepare in advance. And make it clear to your hubby, it's hard, and painful, but in order to get through it he MUST take in enough nutrition, and fluids, even if it's liquid nutrition, and if they give him a PEG, he should continue to swallow frequently.
;o) hugs, and try not to worry - it is treatable, and curable and generally
HPV has a good outcome as the cancer responds well to rads and chemo.
take care.
