Thursday went to Dr. about chemo- will be doing chemo along with radiation. The drug for chemo is called cisplatin going to try 3 doses. I have a horseshoe kidney and high liver count so I need more testing before starting chemo. Might have to change chemo to once a week depending on results of test for kidney and liver. My cancer is a stage 4A; however, throat cancer stage 4A is not the same as other cancers stage 4, so please don't let the number concern you.
