My father was recently diagnosed with Stage III head and neck cancer of unknown primary. He began treatments this week. He is being given the new drug
Erbitux, once a week for eight weeks and will begin agressive radiation next week. I know the drug
Erbitux has been around a while but was recently approved for head and neck cancer. Anyone have any experience with this? My father is also trying the Amifostine injections and I pray he can tolerate them as he has a low tolerence for pain, etc.
