DEar Samudra,
Depending on the protocal for each disease, I know that cisplatin works
well in combination with a number of others, such as cytoxin, taxol,
topotecan and others. YOu may wish to discuss with your docs. Cisplatin
and Cytoxin worked well for my Barb, but obviously had another type of
disease.
God Bless
