Hi Kent,
This is actually the first time that I have written in, but I wanted you to know I had surgery first followed by rads, chemo & Erbitux and am so glad I did. As soon as I found out that I had cancer I wanted it out asap and I'm almost 4 years out.
It worked for me!

SCC 4/2006 Bot/Side Tongue T3N2M0 surgery/flap/ neck dissection. 30 IMRT Cisplatin/Erbitux. 5 year + survivor
