Thank you for your response Christine. I apologize for asking too many technical questions on a forum that's more oriented for support rather than medical guidance, I realize most people here are just normal patients or caregivers with no medical background.
After more research through the american guidelines there have been studies done where one group recieved a slightly higher daily dose of radiation coupled with 2 doses of cisplatin and the other recieved a normal dose of radiation coupled with 3 doses of cisplatin and the overal survival rates were found to be similar.

Certainly a lot of questions for the radiaton team and the oncologist.
