It is really extremely hard to ask questions when the only person you can talk to is the actual patient. I am afraid she might be telling us that everything is okay and hiding other details.

The bottomline is that the lesion on the face is still "fresh" after 35 radiation treatments and 7 Erbitux treatments. She told us she will get 2 additional Erbitux this week and another one on the 8th or August. After which they are suggesting oral chemo.

I just hope with all the treatment that she has gone through that it will help her.

Do lesions in the face get better? What is the protocol for that here? They do not want to do surgery at all. Will that heal and dry up??

Thanks
