Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 90 | Jennifer, You will see my post regarding Erbitux when you do your search but my father received it the past Spring and the side effects were minimal when compared with other chemo drugs used in this fight. It is a targeted therapy which is different than traditional chemo drugs. Keep us posted on your mother. Take Care Kim
