Hey Danny

Your recurrence is the pits. Maybe there is something in the Wisconsin air that is slowing down the progress of the chemo drugs. Jack is sure the carboplatin and taxol aren't working for him either. He's trying to talk the oncologist into a scan before the series is finished. He feels a bigger mass in his neck after 2 months of treatment when it should be smaller. It's encouraging that there is another set of drugs to try.

Our hope is that the FDA will approve Erbitux for head and neck cancer before it is too late for him. The reading we have done makes it sound the most promising. Right now he would have to find a trial that would take him in order to get it. I wonder if he would be strong enough to travel any distance for the treatment.

Keep hanging in there. You have kept up the spirits of so many. Know that we're all thinking of you and praying.
