My Dad is getting ready to begin treatment for Stage IVa cancer at the base of his tongue and in his lymph nodes. He has been told he will have 5 days of 24hr a day chemo along with radiation, then radiation for 4 more weeks and the 24hr/5day chemo radiation for another week. My dad has been advised to also take Protocel. It is an antioxidant supplement recommended by a bio-chemist. The bio-chemist used this to treat his brother who had stage IV lung cancer which went into remission.

Dad is understandably worried about the cisplatin. He's read all about the side effects. If anyone has any experience with this please let us know. We've also been looking at carboplatin, which seems to have as much success with less side effects.
