Thanks Christine & Paul

I was just wondering .
After getting a second opinion from a MD Anderson Oncologist we were told to hold off on the Erbitux. She explained by doing this the door would be left opened for other options down the road if needed. However the Oncologist here in LA. wanted to include the Erbitux in treatment now.

We decided to follow the MDA doctors orders and not include the Erbitux for now.

I guess I was being curious as to what if it was used now and then again later if needed.

Christine I am going to question the doctor more about it and let you know what he says.

Thanks
Heidi
