Sandy, they did tell me that I would have to stop nursing. They are not giving a placebo to the control group, so it would only be if I am actually given the medicine. That is definitely one of the factors I'm considering. I think it's better for the baby to have a healthy mother than to continue nursing, but they said there is no proof that Erbitux would be helpful in a case like mine. Hence the clinical trial, I guess. I am leaning toward doing the trial. I read that clinical trial participants do better overall, even when not receiving the trial medicine. I guess because of the extra attention from doctors.
