I think I had asked that question once before what if I just dropped out of the study at 15 or 16 weeks and leave it at that…… that gives me two full rounds of cisplatin and that gives me the 15 rounds or 15 days of treatment no doubt 20 if I go that far….. that’s food for thought.

Ultimately it all boils down to individual choices .
You are in charge of your own body and we all hope our oncologists will steer us in the right direction and help us get through treatments with the least amount of pain and suffering. If treatments go south like mine did with cesplatin chemo then we need to make changes, pause or come up with a different plan.
Some of the more prominent cancer treatment centers like Mayo, MD Anderson and MSK to name a few are now offering more individualized treatment plans steering away from the standard of care plans of 7 chemo/35 radiation.
Hopefully others will come around and do the same especially for us H & N HPV + people.
Until then some of us accept the standard of care plan and make our own decisions based on progress as we go.
