I emailed my MO and he snt me this: "The VA has excellent H&N protocols, primarily because of the patient population. That sounds like a good drug selection to me." My question to him was about thwe Taxotere and Erbituc combination.

The Erbitux rash is well known and I haven't heard of very many serious side effects from this. It can usually be managed.

Hope this helps
