Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Steve, did you have a PEG tube?

Amy, I replied to your response to my question about sour mouth before I read this. I'm glad that John is tolerating the Erbitux well. What are they recommending for the rash? I've read ZendaT's posts here and we have switched to a dark-colored pillowcase! Tom's rash seems to get much worse if he is out in the sun for any amount of time--and I am vigilant about his wearing sunscreen! I'm curious to know where you are in Arkansas. Tom is originally from Springfield, MO and I tease him that he's from "almost Arkansas!"

CG to Tom dx SCC 5/06; right neck lymph nodes removed, dx right tonsil and tonsillectomy 6/06; rad and chemo started 7/06; treatment COMPLETED 9/06 33x rad; Erbitux (8x); Cisplatin (2);
