The Erbitux rash is pretty much under control as long as he takes an antibiotic. But, he's been having a lot of problems with concentration, memory, and attitude. I could only find a little bit of information about Erbitux and brain toxicity on the internet and the OCF website. Technically, it isn't chemotherapy...so, is it Erbifog?

For those of you who have had Erbitux, have you developed chemo fog or chemo brain? If so, how long did it last?

Thanks,

Sandy
