Cisplatin: What was your experience on this drug?

I remember how stressful it was trying to choose a treatment. I don't have any experience with cisplatin, but I just took a quick look at the NCCN treatment guidelines (intended to be read by doctors) for vulvar cancer. It looks like chemoradiation using cisplatin is what they recommend for patients who are not having surgery. So going ahead with what your doctors recommended is probably the right choice. Sending good wishes your way.

Thank you, Val64, for taking the time to respond. I did have surgery 3/10/23 to remove the vaginal tumor, but I know there are no real guidelines for treating vaginal cancer due to its rarity. Apparently, all treatment protocols are extrapolated from existing cervical cancer randomized study results. As I mentioned, I meet with the oncology radiologists today, so I will have to make a decision since I start treatment Monday. Thank you again and I hope you are well.
