My medical oncologist stopped the Erbitux chemo after two sessions because the rash was so bad. We planned for twelve weeks of Erbitux.
Last week, we had another PET scan. The report showed that there is still a mass and activity (SUV of 3.1) in the nasopharynx. From medical journals I have found, this could very well be a false positive as residual mass might be inactive tumor.
One option is to take a biopsy now, but my CyberKnife radiation oncologist recommended that we wait at least one more month especially since I am asymptomatic. We will run another PET scan within the next 1 - 3 months.
Happy new year!
