Hello everyone,
Thanks for the article Paul. According to the research article the Cisplatin once every 3 weeks was actually better in terms of less toxicity and adverse side effects than the lower dose every week.

In discussion with my Chemo oncologist, she wants to try a less concentrated (75 mg/m squared) once every 3 weeks approach during radiation. The therapy should begin next week, still waiting for the phone call from my Radiation oncologist.

Take care,
Steve
