Very few people breeze thru radiation. Trying to give you some bright news in a dismal present, it may be just as well your husband did not toleratethe Erbitux. In retrospect the terrible skin side effects & aggravation of radiation damage were not worth it especially considering it did not prevent a recurrence. In fact the RO switched me up for the second chemo TX saying it appears now that Erbitux doesn't work well on some BOT cancers.

More good news, my mouth sores and radiation damage were horrendous but within three months after TX mostly mitigated. Others bounced back much much faster It is a very slow healing process but the sores, unlike other effects of radiation actually go away. Trust me, you will appreciate the difference. Keep the Faith

BTW, I hate this cancer also and am sorry your kids have to see this.
