I talked with one of the Doctors at Stanford who said it was reopened because they needed a little more data. Anyway, took my first large dose of Cetuximab on Monday. Had a world class headache that night and half of yesterday. But, things seem to be normal again today so I can't complain about that. Also, I was wrong about my tumor...apparently it is a T4a, because of the location deep in the tongue muscle, hence the reasoning to bypass surgery....the size of it was described to me as being T2 sized so that was where the confusion lay.
