Re: My Dad's first Erbitux infusion today

[Guest guest]

Nickie; You are the first we heard about personally with Erbitux. It is in

a way

similar to Avastin and we had it with the cpt11 which is Camptosar or

Irenotacen.

For Nick it worked wonders initially. Hope it does for you also. We

experienced severe diarrhea also but the used lomitil I think and later 4 drops

of

paragoric and

that woked. Here's hoping you good fortune continues and Erbitux makes the

difference. hugs and prayers Nick & Jane

Nicky- I am so hoping that your dad has a great response. Keep us

posted.

My oncologist is suggesting that I consider trying Avastin for a

while to give me a rest from the oxaliplatin, which is causing some

progressive, although still mild, periperal neuropathy. I know Nick

has been on it and had minimal problems with it. I would be

interested in hearing on any one else's experiences with Avastin

also.

Best wishes,

Kris
