My husband took vectibix . His side effects were the rash and acne on his face. He said it felt like his face was burning. Looked like he had a bad sunburn.He also had some mouth sores that made it hard to eat and he pretty much stopped eating. He lost a bunch of weight, so pack on the pounds if you can. After a couple bags of fluid, and dr stopped the infusion to give him a break. Unfortunately it did not cure his cancer .colon (cancer metastasized to his lungs.) Prayers and best of luck!

Hi @lah, our story is very similar to yours, though no mouth sores or weight loss as yet, but certainly metasmases to lungs and liver. Our understanding is that vectibix (panitumumab) is only supposed to stop the tumours from growing. No hope of cure. Also prayers.
