No, the reaction wasn't from the Erbitux. I've actually had only two of those treatments, but my usual weekly one scheduled for tomorrow was also canceled since I guess the plan is to partner with the radiation. I've had no reaction to the Erbitux except for the one day of constipation which was easily resolved :/, and which I'll get ahead of next time by popping a laxative as soon as I get home that day.

Today my lips are a little better, formed some scabbing overnight and itch a little (a good sign), but still extremely dry. I'm hoping for a little progress every day until I have to go back under that hideous thing next Monday. (That part is a breeze; it's what comes later, as everyone knows.)
