Sandy,
My husband had a large tonsil/BOT tumor and had the same induction chemo regimen that Bob described above and then 7 weeks of radiation with concurrent cisplatin. He is doing well and is clear so far. His doctor said this regimen was due to size of tumor and might reduce the chance of metastisis.
