Well people here I sit in the chemo room getting my weekly fix of erbitux this is the 5 week of treatments, I will see the Dr. When the dripping of fluids quit. So far only side effects is a lite rash in my hair. I'll update after I see Dr.

    Scan..

    Seems like wait..wait..wait..is something we all have to deal with. Glad you posted about the minimal side effects, as they said that is what they will use with me when my treatments start. Doc made me very aware that I could get the rash, I am ready to get started and get this behind me. So happy for you that all is minimal !

    Prayers and Hugs !

    kritter, i mite add the first dose they gave me is a double dose of it, so they can watch you and see how you do, it made me trying to vomite and feel real bad, the nurses were standing by and reacted quickly and gave me some kind of shot. fixed me rite up. they told me they give everyone a double dose. just wanted to let you know what to expect. everthing will be ok for you.
