[quote=Charm2017]I often feel that the majority of reports on "new" or "targeted" drugs for oral cancer should be like on late night TV infomercials: accompanied by a fast speech or scroll bye even faster in small print: "individual results will vary, these results are not typical"
I was super excited about Erbitux aka Cetuximab aka IMC-C225 after reading all the glowing reports. I made jokes about getting "martha Stewart" cancer treatment (she went to jail over lying about inside tips on selling her Erbitux stock). I had a wicked rash which supposedly meant great progress.

well that's all very cute and funny - glad you can joke about it, but in our case, its her ONLY OPTION to live. she cant have surgery or radiation, which im sure you did, so youre able to joke about it.
your post sounds like a slap in the face. "let me crack on this drug therapy and then wish her good luck at the end"
