Stoj, Welcome. You will find this site very helpful. My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in December 2005 and he had 5 positive nodes, he was 42 at time of dx. I noticed that you said that you were given the choice of Erbitux or cisplatin, these can and often are used togather. My husband got both. Our oncologist says that the Erbitux has few side effects, acne is the most common. Take care and good luck to you.I found so much useful info on this site and when we would go back for the weekly visit with the oncologist he would ask for my list of orders I wanted him to write, and he would comply.Be proactive, most physicians will be fine with it.
