You are all very much appreciated. @ QueenKong, they're planning on rads 5x/week for ~6 weeks with cetuximab 1x/week. After ~6 weeks will take a look to see where we're at and then decide where to go from there. Tuesday afternoon they'll do a CT to "map out" the head/neck. RO said it will then take him 7-10 days to work out the physics/calculations and then we'll be ready to start the rads. I'm getting anxious to get started. Thanks for your interest. I hope things are looking up for you.
