The Chemo is attacking my dad's Bone Marrow and they had to stop treatment, he has already had radation so that's out. They are telling us his only option is a combo of two clinical drugs Erbitux and IMC-A12.. Has anyone heard of these drugs or has taken them? The side effects listed are really scarry.. I wanted to know if anyone had any other info... PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks

I think, Rosemary, that you haven't gotten any information because you're talking about a clinical trial and no one on this forum has received this combination of drugs.

As an aside, though, all drugs have a scary list of side effects. I did have Erbitux, with the rash and the splitting skin on my fingers, but overall it was pretty tolerable. Never heard of the second drug, though. Can you ask your Father's doc if you can speak with any other patients that have already gone through this?
