Hi Barb:

I have "started" treatment in the sense that I had the surgery on June 29th, and am just waiting to heal 100% to start radiation and chemo.

I plan to start radiation and chemo (possibly with Erbitux or other neoadjunctive treatments), within a couple of weeks.

First I have to have my dental work done.

Thanks for the good wishes!
