I'm basically doing the same thing. Some trial with the IMRT and cetuximab. I'll resist the urge to get on a large soapbox, just a small one. Drug companies are required to put all "reactions" in the inserts, even if they are unlikely to be related to the drug and may be related to the patient's underlying condition. If you ask me (I realize nobody did), this is not really related to the drug. The rash and the uncommon, unpredictable anaphylactic reaction are the main side effects, and compared to other chemo drugs, make it one of the easier drugs to get. I probably will get a loading dose in a week or so and start radiation the week after. Please keep us posted on your sister's progress. Sounds like she's doing great!!
