Welcome David

I see many have greeted you but the more the merrier. I just had surgery and will be starting radiation Tx in about 3 weeks.

I have a question for you, or maybe someone else will answer it. It appears by your stage that it was caught early, but I do not know what the G3 means after the M0? Also, 5 Erbitux and 48 IMRT seem excessive for a T1N2bM0G3. I usually see 2 to 3 chemo / plus 30 to 36 IMRT as an average. Can you explain this.

Thank You. And Best Wishes in your TX. sincerely, Petey
