Hi,
Thanks everyone for the replies. Richard's primary was moderately differentiated and the node keeps shrinking. We see the RO today and I'll have many questions for her. The MO indicated the radiation will keep working after treatments end and seemed to think the node would return to normal size. The RO wants it gone NOW and that's why she switched Richard to 2 infusions of Erbitux for the last 7 radiation treatments. Has anyone ever heard of only 2 infusions of Erbitux after 2 infusions of Cisplatin during the treatment period?

Richard's 1st Erbitux was Tuesday. It was the loading dose. He had flu-like symptoms, but is back to normal today. His 2nd infusion will be next Mon. with 3 more rads to go. This time next week, he will be done with treatments and we will wait and see if all this has worked. I'll post when I get more info after today's RO appointment. Talk to you all later...Geri
