Hi there okay are you being treated at a comprehensive cancer center ? Based on your information I'm thinking that maybe not. Normally at a comprehensive cancer center you will already have met with your radiation dr. And Erbitux is usually given in combination with radiation not before that I've heard of - this is standard - are they continuing it through radiation? Also cisplatin or carboplatin are the tried and true drugs of choice - as a chemo radiation, regardless of all this I did want to welcome you... smile and wish you luck.
