They refer to my cancer as an agressive cancer also - it really grows quickly and did not respond to either of the chemo treatments that we tried. i'm going to quiz them about my Erbitux success this next appointment. the rash has started already though and that makes me happy. My last blood work showed a very high white blood count and that is from fighting this infection. I do know that once the biopsy was done, my tumor took on a life of it's own. right now I do not know the exact location of the cancer other than the right side of my neck as opposed to the left side and need to have some scans done so that I know what we have now so that I can tell if I am responding to the Erbitux or not. My plastic surgeon mentioned that someday they will be able to genetically identify each cancer and how to treat them differently instead of trying the same treatments on different cancers. I think that will make a huge difference in successful treatment.
