PLEASE!!!! I am not bashing the drug or the manufacturer and I accepted that if there was 1 in 1000 someone had to be that one and John drew the short straw. My fight at first was to make the figure "2" deaths reported so heart monitors will be used but now that I read more about it the risks are so much higher. Hospital protocol MUST be changed - I was told they were following protocol for chemo - and they did. But it is NOT the same for Erbitux!!!! I am not angry at the doctors or anyone - this is a horror story and I do not want this to happen to anyone - if I can save one person from this post then my husband did not die in vain and I can be at peace. When you are stunned from being diagnosed and going through daily hell you tend to do everything the doctors say - we did. Our ONC met a drug rep at a meeting the night before and the next day he told us about it and all the side effects (no risks) and then 2 days later used it and in minutes my husband was gone. PLEASE do not believe there are no risks - the risk for sudden death from heart, lung or allergic reaction is great. About 90% of people receiving Erbitux have some kind of reaction (no, not all fatal) but protocol says how careful to be and what the risks are.
