Just to "muddy" these waters some- when we had our first appointment[this past summer] with John's chemo Doc, we talked about his existing palsey and hearing difficulties. The Doc said, "O.K., we'll use Carboplatin instead of Cisplatin- they are virtually the same results wise." Since I had been following Gail and Barry's tx, I felt O.K. with this. Amy
