they want to give me 8-9 weeks of taxol/carboplatinum/erbitux

then 8 weeks of radiation plus chemo i think just taxol and carboplatinum.
Then 4 weeks rest then surgery
I think because i have stage 4 with a 3 cm tinsil and a huge 7 cm lymphnode.
Thank you Victor brown

Hi Victor,

I was diagnosed of cancer of the larynx in November last year.

I had 3 cycles of chemotherapy (cisplatin, taxotere and 5FU) and then I had 7 weeks of radiotherapy along with chemo (carboplatin) once a week in those 7 weeks.

My cancer was T4n2 (meaning tumour was grade 4 and i had 2 nodes involved) - I haven't had surgery though.

Anyway, I wish you all the best with your treatment Smiler If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them.

Hayley Smiler
