Hi Thalia,

The approach I used was weekly Cisplatin and Erbitux. My radiation went 6-1/2 weeks so I had 7 chemo's. I also had daily Ethyol shots which are thought to help eventual recovery of saliva gland function (I've got some saliva, so it seems to have helped).

You can browse through the forum posts and see what other treatments have been used (most members put their diagnosis and treatment at the bottom of their posts, which you should consider doing).

If you search through my posts, you will also find more information on my experience.

Best wishes,

Chris
