Yes we DO have the most current links but my link was specifically directed to the Cisplatin page so she wouldn't have to search through the hundreds of pages on the NCCN Oncology Practice guidelines site.

Everyone here should read the NCCN Oncology Practice guidelines (in Brians post/OCF link) for whatever OC you have as soon as you are Dx'd and well before treatment planning is started.

It is critical for 2 reasons: 1. Know ALL of your treatment possibilities and 2. Have intelligent questions to ask of your medical team.

The NCCN guidelines are pretty much the "Standard of Care" for cancer diagnosis and treatment (for ALL types of cancer).

There are also sections for stress and adult cancer pain management in the guidelines.

We have many patient advocates here but the bottom line is that YOU have to be your OWN patient advocate. The ultimate choices rest in your hands. Whether you live or die - rest in your hands. It's always been OCF primary mission to equip patients with the knowledge to be their own advocate.

Please - don't play games with your life - GO to a Comprehensive Cancer Center or NCI Cancer Center for diagnosis and treatment.
