My father took Erbitux this spring at the same time he took radiation. The worst side effect was the acne rash which got pretty bad. He also suffered some long and painful headaches during the first 2 to 3 weeks of the Erbitux but those subsided after about week 3. I have been following your Caregiver Journal Amy and keep you and John in my prayers. Let me know if there is something specific about Erbitux that you were looking for and I would be happy to let you know if we experienced it with the drug
God bless
