Thanks All. So I start seven rounds of Erbitux beginning next Wednesday and thirty Rounds (Six Weeks) of Targeted Radiation to begin the following Monday. I was told we were going with Erbitux since I already have the nerve damage and hearing loss from Cisplatin. I told the Hematologist it really didn't matter in my opinion if I have already suffered the side effects, whichever would give me the largest leverage of beating this for good! She stated that I would respond well to the Erbitux and if there happened to be any issues with it we would then reconsider an alternative, possibly the Cisplatin. I'm now trying to regain some nutrition and possibly some weight so I'm ready to get in the Ring and finish this! BRING IT!!!!!
