In research I've discovered that another combination is Carboplatin and Taxol, which is also very much like Cisplatin and Texatere (but maybe not as toxic with radiation). I have to ask.

Maybe it's me, but sometimes I feel that doctors get on a certain treatment regimen, and really don't look at the various options. I know that happened to me with induction therapy. My doctor was going to put me automatically on Cisplain and radiation until I questioned more aggressive options. So, to be honest, I'm don't trust doctors 100%.

My doctor is very good, but I don't really click with him. He seems sparse with information.
