Mathew, I thought I was reading my own diary. As mentioned, all this is normal. I did
Erbitux last year, and took a month or so to heal, was itchy, but today I mostly forget how much was any pains, other treatments as well, as time heals all wounds. I get sick oxycodone, other pain meds, so needed the nausea meds to counter. Don't be disappointed, it takes time, and it will get better.
