Sounds like you got a plan in motion. Once you get started things will progress along.

Given you are in a trial, did you ask or what answer did you get to the fact that cisplatin/carboplatin given concurrent with rads are supposed to enhance the effect of the rads, acting as a radio-sensitizer. AFAIK Erbitux is not platinum based so is the platinum effect not something you are missing?

Is the primary purpose of the trial to determine if there are less side effects with Erbitux while still being as effective as Cisplatin? Do you happen to have the trial reference number? I'm sure this info would help others who may be offered a seat in the trial bus.

Thanks and good luck, Don
