thanks you guys. it'll be either cisplatin or Erbitux and i've been doing the research. pretty down to earth oncologist who we actually can talk with, he's leaning towards cisplatin. my dad tolerated this real well years back for melanoma but they'll be dosing bucketfuls this time around.

another question? i'm reading Erbitux is/isn't picked up by medicare, what's the deal on this, how do you navigate insurance before hand? i want to jump on this before it lands in my mom's lap.
