An update:
Surgery has been scheduled for September 30. We will meet with his "Chemo doc" on the 25th to discuss possible future treatments. Since he had Cisplatin 3 years ago, would that be considered again? Also, I know that Erbitux is now being used for Head and Neck Cancers. I remember reading about Erbitux 3 years ago and I asked about it, but at the time I was told that it wasn't "standard" chemo for Head and Neck cancers. I'm wondering if he would have a better chance if he got Erbitux this time. Anyone?
Thank you,
Lori
