I don't believe anyone on the forum has yet been treated with Erbitux. If you are the first, you can educate all of us.

For the record, I was diagnosed stage 4 with mets to nodes more than three years ago and am just fine now. Do not panic, even though the tendency is to do just that. Lots, and lots of us made it though treatment and you will too.
