For what it's worth, Cisplatin was recommended to us by Sloan Kettering, among others, for Jack. It's their protocol but was also based on how aggressive his cancer was and the extracapsular lymph node invovlement. Sometimes you just have to go with to each his own and realize that opinions in medicine will continue to vary.
The good news is that you've finished your treatments and the CT scan was clear. Everything else is a side effect to be dealt with, being alive is the victory. Congratulations.
May you continue to be well and get good news.
Regards JoAnne
