Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 1,163 | Hello All, Well I survived the first two infusions of Erbitux. After the first infusion I got a rash on my forehead and nose, not a real bad one but it's there. Also experiencing headachs for two or three days after and during the infusions. Other than that I still feel ok. Get real tired and a nap is in order most days. I won't be attending the walk in NY. I would like to sponser a walker. I'll send you a check Jerry. All My Best, Danny Boy
