Hello everyone!! Hope you are enjoying your day. My sister starts radiation tomorrow. Yay!! The dr's want her to do radiation and Erbitux. She isn't sure weather she do it or not. She has read the possible side effect of cardiac arrest and is wondering if the extra 3% non reacurrance rate is worth it. The dr's want to be aggressive because of her age but we were thinking if this was to aggressive. Any info from anyone would be helpful. She is meeting with the dr's with her questions about it also.
