Hi there are they talking about giving radiation and cisplatin? If so that will hopefully work - there's another post in this forum just above this thread talking about Erbitux and its benefits and or lack there of. Apparently Erbitux only works on certain people. Where as I belive cisplatin works on most... (though hearing and neorpathy can be factors for some) it seems fairly aggressive hopefully they will move quickly into radiation and not let it progress any further. Blessings to you all.
