You may want to ask if they can skip Cisplatin altogether. My CCC team recommended just Erbitux mainly because they had seen too many patients with David's side effects or worse. It was a lot less toxic and more focused on the cancer than cisplatin. I agree with all the prior advice to get a second opinion if you have doubts
