I had my treatment at Oregon Health science university last summer. Had the tumor debulked(thier term) then 35 radiation treatments. mon thru fri twice on fri. Cistplatin and a trial with Erbetux. Doing well now. 22 sep 08 I will have a scan to check if I am cancer clear. I want to thank the staff at OHSU particularly Dr.s Heinrich and Holland for their fine care and auplifting attitudes. Did the Erbetux help don't know yet know I had a excellent reaction to it. And hopefully the results of the study will be good.

what do you mean debulked an operation?
i got 6 weeks of Erbitux Carboplatin and Taxol once a week then a two week rest.
Now i am getting radiation with Cisplatin everyday on weeks 1,4 and 7 Plus i get the radiation twice on fridays. I only get 10 minutes with my oncologist and he doesnt answer anything , i ve only got to see him 3 times in 3 months.

just wanted to answer your question about debulking so others will know. It is the term my surgeons used for bringing the size of my tumor down so I could sleep at night without my windpipe being cuttoof similarly to sleep apnea. Joe
