Cetuximab Radiation Therapy for T1/N1

My mother is diagnosed with T1/N1 carcinoma in the Buccal Mucosa and N1 to a nearby lymph node in the throat. She underwent surgery and margins of good tissue around the primary tumor was 3mm-5mm, as per the histopathology report. The lymph node showed extracapsular extension in the histopathology report. Owing to CIN (nephritis), Cisplatin is ruled out. We wanted to know if Cetuximab should be considered with RT or is only RT sufficient for this stage? We planned for RT in the coming week.

Cervical cancer.

I’m pretty sure I have HPV. As I’ve had to get a couple warts removed on my genitalia, I’ve had it for about a year. But I think I have cervical cancer as I read some strains of HPV cause cancer. Not sure though, as I can’t get a Pap smear because I’m not 21, I’m only 2 months shy of 21. I was told no from a doctor. But what I want to know is cervical cancer fast spreading? And is it likely I have it? I guess I’m just a big worry to myself.. thanks.

Mastectomy

I'm scheduled for a prophylactic mastectomy wit immediate reconstruction and I have two dates to pick, either January 17 or February 26. I was not diagnosed with breast cancer but I got a a BIRADS 3 last time I had a mammogram (4 months ago). If, hypothetically, there is a small tumor would it make a substantial difference in having a mastectomy in February versus January? Thanks for any input
