I had 8 weekly Cisplatin doses and really had very few problems from the chemo. Our CCC (James Cancer Hospital @ Ohio State) was a big proponent of the weekly doses. Worked for me, as I am coming up on 3 years. ;-)

andy did both. 3 rounds cisplatin and weekly doses w/IMRT. the weekly doses were much more tolerable with less side effects.
