Hi there..sorry you had the need to find us but you are in the right place. My husband had chemo (Erbitux) and RT first. When the lymph nodes did not go down (swollen) following the above, then ND was done. Had they gone down and the PET been clear, probably a different story. Hang in there! Eat, eat, eat. Enjoy it now! Good luck and keep us posted smile
