I can't even comment on this without hearing Charm.
We did 2 rounds of induction chemo, then we had Erbitux with the IMRT. Our MO wanted to add Carboplatin as well as the Erbitux but Kevin refused. I thought he was wrong to refuse, but it is his body and his choice. Now we often think back to whether that was the right choice because we know we didn't hit it with all we had. If we have a recurrence, we will always wonder....
I say this just to make you think this all the way through. Not to say you haven't I guess...but...this is your life. Hit it HARD.
