Im very sorry I forgot to add the link to our Financial Assistance section thats in the Resources section of the main OCF site. Ive added it to the bottom of this page.


All chemos will have side effects. Carboplatin is usually the next chemo given if cisplatin produces serious side effects with ear problems. They are both platinum based chemos. Erbitux (cetuximab) is another type of chemo. It does have side effects, most patients get rashes with Erbitux some will have more serious infusion reactions. Make sure you always report any issues, no matter how insignificant they may seem to your doctor. Ive added a link at the bottom of this post to our main OCF site, theres much more in depth info about chemo.
