I sincerely apologize if this is the wrong place to discuss this but he was only diagnosed in May and is dead in less than 2 months. He was not even in pain yet - not even a sore throat. The Cisplatin made him vomit 10-20 times a day and he had lost 30 pounds in 19 days so he did feel like crap and like he was going to die but cancer did not kill him and Erbitux should not have killed him if used properly and was closely monitored - he was in the hospital for hydration and to start a feeding pump (the PEG tube was put in early so when he did get in pain it would be there). He was not on pain meds - just formula feeding because of vomiting and Zofran for nausea. They decided to go ahead and start the Erbitux since he was in the hospital and relaxed and finaly after 21 days straight not vomiting - now I wished we had it done at the Infusion Center where he would have been monitored and they had life saving tools available.
