Looking for suggestions from those who have possibly run into
this situation with chemo treatment.
Met with med oncology doc yesterday after missing a week
due to multiple complications from the cesplatin . Asked if I was ready for another
treatment for which I said no, don't want to go through that again.
Asked Is there some other chemo drug
instead ?
Was basically told that is all he could offer , had the best cure rate etc. but could go with a lower dose.
I declined the lower dose and went home.
I'm pushing 70 and my body just can't handle that particular drug.
So. not wanting to burn any bridges which I haven't, I am suppose to think about it and call if I change my mind'
Needless to say I am disappointed in the response I got.
I do believe there are one or two alternative options
that are almost if not equally as good, less toxic and suitable for HPV + .
I'm all eyes and ears if anyone has any input because I am stumped. I was hoping to have one more cycle, but not with cesplatin.
