hello Joel
Cisplatin + Erbitus+amniphostine were the drugs I was given, * weeks. Amniphostine was every day for protection of slaiva glands, Cisplatin and Erbitux once a week. It is a std protocol at the oncology group I went to. I did get minor rash, some get it much worse. I think it was approved for H&N cancer several years ago. There must be a good reason for that. I was lucky and tollerated it well. And most importantly, still cancer fre after 18 months
Good luck
Steve
