My husband also had the Cisplatin with radiation to make it more effective. He then had Erbitux a few months later because he had a recurrence. The Erbitux had more side effects than the Cisplatin. Just like Margaret stated the skin rash was the worst of it. He had cracked fingers and toes but that all cleared up pretty quickly once he was off of it. Good luck to you both.
