My son had TPF every 21 days for 6 cycles, took him 4.5 months. CT done, tonsil ca is gone but there are lymph node residuals. He is having chemoradiation with low dose cisplatin for 6 weeks and 34 IMRT. He is having a hard time with cisplatin and thinking of stopping the chemo and just go on with the radiation.
