Hi:

What does anyone know about carboplatin? I believe they are using this with my dad due to his kidney function. He has never been on dialysis, just some medication and dietary changes. The Oncologist is giving him a low dose for 5 days and then going to check his kidney function. If his kidney's are ok, they will repeat treatment in a month's time. He will be getting radiation treatments for I believe 8 weeks concurrently. I was just told my dad is getting Cetuximab not carboplatin. I would give more detail as to stage ect. but we have not been told. So, if anyone is familiar with Cetuximab, that would be great.
