Hi, Marilyn, Like you, I stumbled on this site [when my husband was diagnosed in 2005] and I have always gotten more information here than I ever got from John's Docs.and more help with practical solutions to various issues] Have you "read up" on the potential effects of Cisplatin on hearing loss or hand tremors, could that affect you adversly? and I hope they have prepared you for the possibility of the Erbitux rash so that you will be ready to deal with it if your body reacts that way. By the way, I'm 66 + yrs. old, so if you ever want to commiserate about age, let me know Thee are lots of good people here to talk too. Wishing you the best. Amy in the Ozarks
