Hi every one. Need your Advice. First of all David you were right there are will be only 3 chemos.

Please advice if any one knows what would be the best option.Today the doctor adviced they will give full blast radiation. Options with radiation are either 3 chemos or 3 Panitumumab study drug. What our concern is that chemo is tested but this new drug is also very promising as it targets only the cancer cells not the healthy ones. This new drug has been in use for just over 2yrs.
Has any one used it? Thanks !
