Thanks Charm,

I had cisplatin, and 2 other chemos, and did not fare well, so that is not being considered, and neither with my kidney disease. Even the rash is not true that Erbitux is working. anyway, it only gives radiation a 10 precent boost to radiation. There is new study that shows that Erbitux is less effective in the southern belt for some reasons. They are suspecting the heat, besides the K-RAS mutation.

I read that dung the IORT they give up to 24Gy in about 30 minutes. Radiation later afterbhealing it could be 64Gy, but will find out more on Tuesday. Monday I go for a CT scan, but have to do without contrast due to the kidneys. The surgeon said the carotid artery damage is the concern, and after that is all down hill, I hope he ment easy lol

Sorry to hear you at using the peg. I still have mine, although I haven't used it over a year, but never had the chance to have it removed. Not now since I do not know how surgery and radiation will turn out. Thanks for writing.
