@klue Thanks, so did you have 6 round of chemo and further 2 round of Cisplatin chemo+ Radiotherapy or just radiotherapy.
As I said trying to understand if its standard practice.

To my knowledge, giving cisplatin with radiotherapy after completing 6 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel is not standard practice. The Portec3 protocol is radiotherapy with 2 doses of cisplatin during radiotherapy, followed by 4 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel. Standard practice would have been to do this instead of 6 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel. But cisplatin does apparently make radiotherapy work better, and obviously it is too late now to do this the normal way.
