Suffering From Arrhythmia. Diagnosed With Tonsil Cancer. Chemotherapy And Radiation Suggested. Is Cisplatin The Best Chemo Medication?
My husband has a heart arithymia - sometimes pauses during rest and some extra beats - he also has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer and begins treatment soon. He just got heart clearance for treatment of chemotherapy and radiation. My issue is I am questioning the drug cisplatin for his chemo or I am trying to see if it's the best chemo drug for his heart condition.
