Thanks for the positive thoughts @joiedevivre . I also had very mild side effects from my 22 rounds of FFOX before Whipple. My concerns about Cetuximab relate to the "near certain skin issues" as my trial doctor put it. Probably not a lot of people here in the PC group would have experience with the drug since it is mainly used with colorectal and head/neck cancers, but thought I'd ask anyway!

I don’t know if this drug is another name for a check point inhibitor I was on. But its side effects were all skin related. No bad labs!
Face and scalp breakouts with blistery spots and infection in and around nails. For the fingers, soak in vinegar and warm water.
Prescribed doxycycline for face which did help. Not unmanageable, just a little unsightly😊. It could also be really dry skin. Many oils and lotions for that.
