Hi Jennifer, Glad you posted an update! I hear ya on that Erbitux! My sister had a hard time with the rash. Ask your dr's if you can have SSD cream for the rash? That helped my sister out a lot. I'm trying to remember the real name of it. I will ask my sister and get back to you but I am sure if you say SSD they will know. Also my sister got slippery elm bark lozenges which really really helped with the mouth sores(seems like the Erbitux makes you get them faster). Hang in there! My sister just had her first clear scan which is an amazing feeling.
