Our chemo doc. told us that all of his Erbitux patients are experiencing more severe rash and over more parts of their bodies than the literature reports, also they are all having problems with the skin around their fingernails and toenails breaking down and bleeding.That's all we had time to talk about at that appt., but I intend to ask more next time . John went back today for his 1st treatment after being off for 3 weeks, but the Doc. wasn't there. By the way, I don't think these patients are getting this with radiation- at least in John's case, radiation was finished as of July 05. I hope we can all keep sharing what we are learning about Erbitux. Amy
