While I posted about Erbitux & HPV, it was based on an OCF news story reporting one doctor's opinion and it has not been validated by a clinical trial. Of course the clinical trial,to see if Erbitux is as good as platinum based chemo has not been finished yet either. Basically all we posters have is our opinion colored by our experiences. I had Erbitux and wished I hadn't. Other posters did not have Erbitux and wished they had. A few had Erbitux . I also had carboplatin and between the two of them. My experience was that the Erbitux had worse side effects in that it magnified the radiation dermatitis while the carbo did not. Carbo also does not have the hearing issues if cisplatin
If you can get both then you won't have to make a choice. Ask your doctor if they will accommodate you
