Just as a quick followup on my original question about the Erbitux rash...H has now had 4 Erbitux treatments and 12 IMRT. Rash is nowhere as bad as it was after the first loading dose. A couple of things I (as an observer) attribute it to - first the antibiotic that he takes twice a day and second, the chemo department suggested a product called aquaphor for the rash - its OTC, its also greasy. Radiation nurses told us not to use that because it's not water soluble and can't be used within 2 hours of RT and to just use the RT stuff - Biafine. Stretching my memory way back to the teenage years....why would you put anything greasy on an acne like rash? Seems it would make it worse and it was. H is doing much better now and rash is there but much, much better.
