Joined: May 2008 Posts: 43 | i had 6 weeks induction Erbitux carboplatin taxol then 2 week rest then 7 weeks radiation plus chemo cisplatin dailey on wees 1 4 and7 tommorrow is my last day of treatment now i wait. I had a really large lemon sized lymphnode so i think thats why they gave me induction first and my tonsil cancer was fairly large and i think the induction can stop the spreading in an advanced case like mine.
Tonsil into base of tongue 3to4cm tumor. Giant lemon sized 9cm lymphnode. Squamos cell carcinoma
April 5 diagnosed. June 5 started treatment. Cetuximab Carboplatin Paclitaxel once a week for 6 weeks.Then 7 weeks of radiation plus chemo cisplatin then 4 weeks rest then neck disection was Nov 7 2008
