I agree with Markus. Doctors like everyone else prefer to do what they are used to. The big problem with cisplatin is the side effects. If you can get 7 smaller ones rather than 3 Standard, go with the 7! If you can go with Erbitux go with it! Anyhow in my case, it could said that the cisplatin didn't really work. All this said, It's just my humble opinion! Best of Luck! You'll get through this! Tom Roussell
