Anyone have experience with Erbitux?

6. That's what I was told too. The rash was a sign things were going well.

I forced myself to go in public. Sometimes I forgot when I left the cancer center, because I wasn't the only one inside who had the same rash - no shame among cancer patients. No explanations needed. So I would bebop into a store and only remember once the staring started. I got to the point I smiled and waved at those looking too long. Children were brutally honest but they're children.

Adults are often curious but too embarrassed to ask. That's their shame - not mine. Not your husband's.

He'll need a hat that covers his face and neck. The sun aggravates the rash.

It took about 2 weeks for the rash to really take hold for me. Everyone is different, so it could be shorter or longer. Some have only a light reaction. I was a worst case for the rash. It was bad. I called myself Quasimodo..between the swelling, the rash, and the lopsided face still healing from surgery...I looked pretty bad.

I was getting radiation at the same time and I'm sure that didn't help any. Fortunately, the rash went away before the 2nd degree burns arrived.

I survived (so far) but I am not a shining example of the best that could happen during and right after treatment. I almost died a month after treatment ended.
