PLEASE!!!! Anyone considering using Erbitux make sure your doctor is aware or the TRUE risks. It can be a good drug but the protocol is NOT the same as the protocol with chemo such as Cisplatin. My dear husband was not told of any risks and when I researched I read what every doctor is telling me now - less than 1 in 1000. Read ALL the info that is right there on their sites. With other medicines or if you have had radiation or chemo it can (and does) cause instant death as in the case of my husband a few days ago. If that number was not a lie (and it is - read it and weep)they would have had him on a heart monitor and not have started his first dose at 10:30PM on a Friday night. PLEASE do not take this and think there are no risks!!! It is a good drug and can help but it also can be dangerous.
