Hi, Pat and Walt, I am so glad to hear Pat is reading the board also! It gives you a two way street to communicate on. Be forwarned that the "infamous" Eribtux rash will probably get worse. Things we kept on hand were Head and Shoulders Shampoo[regular] for shower time, Calmoseptine ointment or Clindamycin Phosphate gel. Try to get Pat's Chemo Doc engaged ahead about how to deal with the rash so you have things on hand at home. Pat, you need to watch for any changes in your toenails or fingernails. Hopefully you won't have alot of the rash, but it's good to be prepared. How many Erbitux txs are you getting? Good luck with the radiation phase, we'll all be pulling for you both. Amy in the Oz
