I assume the chemo you refer to above is Cisplatin? I had Cisplatin and other than the HF hearing loss which one source says is permanent and my CO says lets wait and see and the nausea, I didn't experience any other side effects. I was told by my CO that Cisplatin would enhance the Rad's ability to kill the cancer by 30% so I opted to do it and would make the same decission today knowing what I went through for the 30%.
