    Side effects

    I am taking Minocyclene to try to dry out my acne, but I have gotten staph twice now. I have also been prescribed 5% Benzyole Peroxide body wash, both of which do not work to my satisfaction. The most painfull side effects are the skin cracks and ingrown nail type issues that really hurt, and keep me from going to the gym when they are really bad. I go to see my Oncologist  on Monday and plan to pin him down for some solutions to these issues as having to accept these obstacles will not be acceptable for me going forward.

    Side effects can be good

    Hi Mike (love4lacrosse), my chemo doc told me last night that when on erbitux the worse the acne the better the treatment is working against the cancer. He said that while the side effects can be bad they also indicate effectiveness of treatment. Perhaps it may sound strange but I was encouraged by this, he also said the side effects would disappear almost immediately once treatment finished. Hope this helps

    regards Michael

    Great to hear this, Mike. Don't post as much as I used to, but check in daily to get updates, and this was great to read.

    Had a Dr a long time ago who had an MD in front of his name, and kinda think he shoulda had NEMD:  Never Earned Medical Degree!
