Joined: May 2004 Posts: 218 | Hey Gary, My name is Robert. I had the same cancer and was diagnosed the same way (through Surgery) as well. I recieved the same treatment with Iressa instead of Erbitux. I only had one node but was still stage IV. It was a rough ride but all is well now. i just got my two year and all clear. I had nobody to go throught this with until I discovered this site. It really helped. Ask anything, any time. everybody out here wants to help. Talk to you soon. -rh
