Not to long ago a certain doctor that I won't mention told us that once Erbitux was given it could not be given again . We were told to hold off on using it so the option would remain open .

Is this correct that once you have taken the Erbitux it cannot be taken again ? A different doctors opinion was different . He said the Erbitux can be used again .

Has anyone taken Erbitux more than once with treatment ?

Thanks
