I know my Mom's chemo was cancelled early due to being intolerable but she had 3 agents combined(docetaxel/taxatore, cisplatin & 5fu). Her chemo onc. felt that she reacted the most severely to the 5fu. Not sure how he can determine that but I just wanted to put that on the record if anyone is questioning what chemo agents to use and has read about my mom's unpleasant story. I am unsure if my Mom could have tolerated Cisplatin alone...I guess we will never know.
