My husband had a CT scan prior to the second surgery and that's when they found the mets to lung. He already had the date to remove additional node from neck and they did a bronchioscope to diagnose spot in lung. If the Erbitux is not a cure does it just keep it at bay for awhile? The doctors won't give us a staight answer. I understand that they can't predict the future but I feel like we're not getting all the facts either. Anyway my husband is far more positive than I am although I put up a good front. He is truly an amazing person.
