Earlier I stated I would not be continuing with Cisplatin because of ringing in my ear issues. My MO suggested Erbitux, 400 units or however the measure it over 4 or 5 weeks. I have had 2 doses of Cis. 100 and 40 already. I know I should have asked my MO at the time, but am I getting more than I need or is this normal when you change meds?
