I just started Erbitux along with chemo (Carboplatin) and radiation 2 days ago. I am already seeing redness on my cheeks and neck. This is my second round of chemo and radiation (I didn't have Erbitux the first time)and I didn't see any redness until the last week of treatment. I've read about Erbitux and the horrible rash you can get and I'm worried. Has anyone else had Erbitux? If so, what was your experience?
