I'm certainly not an MO but that end of Tx chemo cocktail sounds a bit extreme considering his Staging and his Tx. Chemo is poison and why put the body thru more after the traditional Tx should have done the job? Was there any sign that the Tx hadn't worked? Re the 3 mega Cisplatins, most now are getting smaller weekly bags which seem to work better re toxicity.
