My husband is on cancer #4. Twice it has come back within 2 months of major salvage surgery. If you are not going to a Comprehensive Cancer Center, you should. At least for a second opinion. My husband is now on palliative Erbitux as further surgery or radiation is not a possibility. I hope that Vicki will have a better option. Best of luck to you and tell Vicki to hang in there. I know how hard it is. Lori
