Cheryl,

As Ina has mentioned she is on a really thin and filtered line of communication, having to go through a set of relatives first then having Joyce not fully forthcoming herself.

Your passion is great to help but there seems very little ability for Ina to ask and receive answers to any meaningful questions. It really seems she is on receiving end and just gets tidbits here and there.

From what I have read it seems simply the cancer has ulcerated to the surface. My recollection is that was going on before Erbitux was started.
