Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 13 | PaulB, thanks for all your insights. I took the chemo as an outpatient. I was basically in bed with fatigue 3 to 4 days a week, progressively worse toward the end. I had a severe rash on my face and chest from the Cetuximab, which Doc and nurse said indicated it was working. Due to the rash, I only received Cetuximab 3 of the 6 chemo sessions. ________________________________ SCC BOT with bilateral lymph node tumors - Stage IV Dx 7/10/14 Biopsy shows HPV marker Non-smoker, non-drinker Came to MD Anderson a CCC on 7/24/14 PET did not show metastasis 8/2/14 Began induction chemo 8/10/14 Carboplatin, Paclitaxel and Cetuximab Completed induction chemo 9/22/14 Otherwise healthy 67 year old male from La Selva Beach, CA

Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 4 | Roger, you did better than me. 5 days of in-patient IC, Taxotere, Cisplatin, 5-FU knocked me out, almost for good lol. Strange though, cause I had more chemo, surgery, and radiation to follow with lesser problems. I did Erbitux, I felt like an itch ball. Didn't get as much a rash on my face than I did on my arms, legs, scalp, but that's the association with it working. All the best.
