Steve,
You're not alone. So many here have not been able to complete Amofostine treatment that I personally wonder why they bother prescribing it. One of the bummer things about Amofostine is it that it would seem is how immediate the adverse reactions are. I was 3 weeks (1/2 way) into treatment before things started to get very nasty. Do a search on "Amofostine" and see for yourself.

I think Sue 1215's dad is the third or fourth person I have heard of that could tolerate it (and he still has 2 weeks to go). One person said that the particular delivery method they used made a difference.

Erbitux is not supposed to cause as many adverse reactions but some have reported adverse effects from it's use. Everyones body chemistry is different and that is why some drugs work on some and not others or why some have adverse effects and others don't.

If you're having Cisplatin who can can tell what causes what?!?!
