Claudia You have no reason to feel guilty. My surgeon told me that everyone's cancer is different and that is why everyone responds to treatments differently. Won't it be grand when they can genetically map the cancer by patient and then treat it on an individual basis? There was a very positive article in Cure about the Erbitux and I am sure there is information here in the Cancer in the News section. What I liked about it was it did not make me sick or cause me to lose more weight.

My hair also started to return shortly after I stopped the chemo and was having the Erbitux with radiation. At first it was really nappy but it got softer. Now it is coal black and gray instead of dishwater blonde, but I truly could care less. I comb it straight up for now because that is the way is seems to be growing and I can.
