for what it's worth: When my aggressive cancer came back, my MO used Carboplatin for the recurrence. He thought it would work just as well as Cisplatin for head and neck cancers. I had had Erbitux the first round. So far so good. Big plus, the Carboplatin was a breeze compared to Erbitux.
It's tough but you are in the thick of the battle. There truly is light at the end of the tunnel.
