Thanks for you post, Jennifer.

I discussed this option with my brother. He has two more infusions to go. One this Friday 14/10/11 and one 2 weeks later.

I suppose like everyone in treatment if he knew it was working and was going to do the job, then coping with the side effects would be a lot easier. He is determined to see the treatment through, although his RO said yesterday she was convinced about Erbitux.

Congratulations on going so well with your scans! Regards, Linda
