You will not be insulting your doctor by asking a question that is based on research you have done. In fact, most doctors appreciate a patient who is informed and engaged.
Just state your research and reading states most all rads are done concurrent with some form of chemo, preferably a platin like cisplatin or carboplatin. It seems your treatment plan does not include a platin and wonder what the rationale is in your case. I am certain he/they will gladly offer their reasoning.
Best to you with your upcoming treatments.
