Hi Sandy:

I am waiting for additional info on my dad. To the best of my knowledge it it stage 4 SCC on base of tongue with some lmphnodes on rt side. He has some loss of kidney function, no dialysis, just controlled by meds and diet. They are giving him Cetuximab every day for a week and will check kidney function at end of wk. He will be getting radiation treatment at the same time. Drs. are positive, they tell us his cancer is curable.

Thanks,
Chris
