Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 595 | I took the most aggressive treatment option offered, induction chemo (cisplatin,doxtaxel and 5FU for three cycles of three weeks each and then 7 weeks of IMRT and weekly carboplatin. My tumor was about 3 inches long on the left side of the neck and the left tonsil infected with cancer. I am now 4 months post treatment with no surgery (other then the tonsil being removed) and no tumor. My team recommeded this course and am glad I chose it. The chioce is yours alone, so do what is best for you! Good luck in your WAR. Bob
