Hi Sandy,

Si definitely suffered some sort of chemobrain. He talked of not having the mental capacity during and post rads to do much of anything. He was on Erbitux throughout, so this may well have been why, although I think the ongoing stress of diagnosis and treatment could have played a part. If it had been me, I'd have hardly been able to spell my name correctly - Erbitux or not.

The Erbitux rash was a fright, but cleared up fairly quickly after the last dose. Hope things improve.
