Thanks Gail for the information. I would be interested in any additional information that you might come across. They have not perscribed anti-nausea drugs for my Dad. He starts the treatments on Monday. Do you know what the antinausea drug is and if it is administered orally or by IV? I would like to get that for my Dad so he doesn't experience any nauseu. They are giving him Zofran prior to giving him the Erbitux but that is only once a week.
