Hi, thank you for the thoughts and input.

We did get the results back from Friday's PET/CT. Six weeks ago the Erbitux had not only slowed the growth but had shrunk some of the tumors. This time not so good, some significant growth and activity. They feel the cancer in the left lung is causing some bleeding and the best treatment is to hit it with radiation. She goes for the simulation tomorrow and start treatment in a couple of days. Over the weekend she has some trouble catching her breath and is saying that pain in her shoulder is bothering her (another area that grew on this scan).

Any experiences with radiation to the lungs (how hard is it on her compared to the neck/mouth, real life side effects to look for, etc., any success stories?).

Thanks, Tom
