Rosemarie, Im sorry you are going thru this with your father. Im sure you both have endured a long rough road. Where has your father been treated? There are a couple members from your area. A year and a half is a very long time to go thru this terrible disease. I have heard of Erbitux, several people here have been on that.

Please add a signature when you can to help us better answer your questions. Its located under the My Stuff tab in profiles. If you arent sure what to write, just check out some of the other members info. Also, take a couple minutes for yourself everyday to just take a deep breath. A caregivers job is a difficult one.

Best of luck with everything for both you and your father.
