Dear V,
My father received Erbitux(only) and received it in weekly doses for 8 weeks. This drug is started one week prior to beginning radiation. The first dose is twice as much as the next seven. He had already had surgery prior to beginning treatments. His main side effect was an acne like rash on the face and head. He also experienced severe headaches but only for the first two weeks and then they subsided. His MO gave him antibiotics about 3 weeks in when the acne rash got pretty bad. He took 10 days worth of the antibiotics and the rash didn't reappear until about a week after treatments were over. He did not experience any nausea. The radiation had the worst side effects and we are still dealing with those. I agree totally with Amy keep asking questions. Kim(used to be Sue1215)
