I would like to say one thing. We ALL try to do the right thing in raising our children. There is no magic formula. But after it is all said and done, as parents we have to trust that they do the right thing. They will make mistakes, we all do, but for the most part, we hope they catch a glimpse of what we were trying to teach them. And you know what, they eventually do. Mine did! Hardest thing I had to learn was when My oldest turned 22, I was no longer responsible for her actions. She made a few hum dingers, but she learned. I had to sit back and allow her to learn. That was a hard one!

I am on Erbitux as well. I bought some Nurtrigena foaming cleanser. I use it twice a day. It does seem to help with the pustuals on my face. It is oil free. I have had 4 chemo treatments and will continue for 9 more weeks or so. So, I know what he feels like. I would say in two weeks you will notice a difference by using the foaming cleanser.

I can not offer advise on anything else. I more than likely overstepped my bounds as it was, not being a certifies counsler. But I wlll say a prayer for you that all goes well and you get the extra courage you need to continue.
