Hi all.
After 3 cycles of chemo and weekly
Erbitux over 9 weeks, we got scan results today.
Tumour has significantly shrunk, altho not able to operate at mo due to location etc and carotid artery. As Mum responded well to chemo, starts a further 3 cycles of chemo next week (also with
Erbitux) over next 9 weeks.
We are meeting with oncologist and original surgeon next week and I wandered if there were any questions I should be asking?
Oncologist said that he didn't know how quickly tunour would re-grow again once chemo stopped after this next 3 cycles, it could be weeks, months etc.
I know it is palliative care, just wondered if there was any advice or knowledge you could offer?
