Hi again, I would like to know if anyone can explain why some people have weekly Cisplatin and others have the dose 2x -3x? Is this just the standard of each hospital or is there a medical reason? Which seems to be the choice of the majority of doctors? It seems like the smaller more frequent dose might have fewer side effects then the mega-dose. Also, did anyone's oncologist tell them not to take any extra antioxidants or have any restrictions for supplements? Thanks, Geri
