Yes,
Erbitux is just the brand name for the chemical name of Cetuximab. I would not worry about Kevin on this score since he did get other chemo.
As far as I can tell,
Erbitux is fine when given in conjunction with platinum based chemo (cisplatin, carboplatin) or others chemotherapies. It just does not do the trick for BOT cancers all by itself.
I too wanted the least toxic chemo so I gambled and lost.
I just want others to know they are gambling because my wife and I did not since none of the studies were out
