Hi Mungolina, you may mean "Radio-sensitizing" agents to make radiation work better. Maybe I misunderstood, but was speaking about cisplatin in what sounds like induction chemo that's in the current plan? That's what induction chemo is for too, to radio sensitize the tumors, and in some, it works so well it reduces the tumor burden significantly and or completely, so its undetectable for a certain time. I've heard it used in palliative care too, without radiation. 175mg is a high dose you had, if given in one day. I think on a weekly basis it's around 40mg, 3 large bag around 100mg, in some treatments.

I didn't have too bad a rash on my face, more so on my arms, and was itchy like crazy all over my body, especially my head. I was given antibiotics at the first sign of the facial rash, and it went away. My finger tips cracked, and had to put band aids on them, wore white gloves at night with some cream. Nurse said to put crazy glue on them, idk lol. I used dove liquid soft soap for sensitive skin, Aveeno for dry skin, Cetaphil, head and shoulders shampoo. My blood levels went down and needed a transfusion. I did hear of low magnesium levels in a long term user, but otherwise it's less side effects than some.

Anyway, good luck again.
