Sandy St I will ask my oncologists about the combo of the Taxtol and the Erbitux. My cancer did not repond at all to the Taxtol combined with another chemo prior to this surgery. If anything it grew. I responded horribly to chemo and I was very ill from it. I really think that the chemo might get me faster than the cancer I was that bad off.
