A second opinion is always a good idea. I had weekly Cisplatin for 8 weeks, and really came through very well. I really had very few reactions to chemo -- most were due to radiation and related medications, though I suppose some of the side effects were contributed to by both.

Our CCC says that weekly Cisplatin has no decrease in efficacy, and does reduce the more severe toxicities associated with larger doses.
