I'm meeting with my oncologist (medical) tomorrow. Reading up a lot about the chemo drugs. I know cisplatin is standard of care but there is a lot of research out about Eritux as being very effective. I also ran across a guy who was treated with both drugs at the same time with excellent results. Would love to hear of others experience with chem drugs?
