Dear Mom to Many, You have gotten really good information above and some excellent advice. I canadd that since John is on Erbitux also, we are very familiar with the Erbitux rash and he is using the Head and Shoulders regular shampoo as a body wash [per Doc's orders] From a caregiver's point of view, I have this to say to you. You cant do it all. For some time during the forseeable future, you will need to either get help with your kids, or help for your husband. It is not humanly possible for you to care for everyone in your large family alone. And if you try, someone is really going to suffer - most likely you!
Considering your situation, it doesn't sound like you can afford to be sick- so please get a support system in place and start using it. Stay with us here, altho Heaven knows when you will find the time. Amy
