the 3 bag cisplatin is common with chemo-rad therapy. I had weekly lower dosage of carboplatin, designed solely to assist the radiation therapy since I had 9 weeks of 3x3 induction TPF which offered far more chemo to reduce/kill the cancer before starting chemo-rads.
The weekly dose did not effect me at all, the effects from radiation are another thing altogether. don
