Hi Ron,
and welcome to the forum.

I had Cisplatin and also hearing damage both from childhood and being a musician for 45 years. They had to cut it short by one treatment because they couldn't control the nausea (I didn't respond to Zofran very effectively - that may not be your experience however). Also the tumor responded so rapidly to the radiation that it had dissapeared completely by the third week.

The Cisplatin didn't cause me any hearing loss problems. Strangely enough, my hearing sensitivity in the mid and higher ranges actually improved slightly from the baseline tests.

It is a very powerful drug. If you choose it, report any changes to your oncologist immediately.

Protocell or the book you referenced aren't listed on Quackwatch but many doctors recommend against supplements, megavitamins and/or antioxidants during treatment. Always clear EVERYTHING with your oncologist FIRST.

You wish to refer to this section of Quackwatch for a deeper understanding of the problems with alternative treatments http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html

Looking at the reviews on Amazon, It would not surprise me if this book makes the Quackwatch.

It took some digging but I found it"

"CanCell -- originally called Entelev and recently renamed Cantron and Protocel -- is a liquid claimed to cure cancer by "lowering the voltage of the cell structure by about 20%," causing cancer cells to "digest" and be replaced with normal cells. Accompanying directions have warned that bottles of CanCell should not be allowed to touch each other or be placed near any electrical appliance or outlet. CanCell has also been promoted for the treatment of AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, "extreme cases of emphysema and diabetes," and several other diseases. In 1989, the FDA reported that CanCell contained inositol, nitric acid, sodium sulfite, potassium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, and catechol. Subsequently, its promoters claimed to be modifying the formulation to make it more effective . They have also claimed that CanCell can't be analyzed because it varies with atmospheric vibrations and keeps changing its energy . Laboratory tests conducted between 1978 and 1991 by the NCI found no evidence that CanCell was effective against cancer. The FDA has obtained an injunction forbidding its distribution to patients."
