It’s been a while now since the erbitux. As I recall he had some nausea, but the worst side effect was his fingertips and toe tips became very sensitive - as if they had been rubbed on fine sandpaper, and they cracked. It was quite unpleasant.

He passed in September 2021. I really must get started on the book. I had forgotten about the fingers and toes until just now.

Thank you for your reply
I’m sorry to hear he passed . My 37 year old son has tongue and neck cancer. He is responding well to erbitux however the effects of it to his face are pretty bad. It’s very very red, hot and burns. They have tried a few things but nothing seems to help. He does have the finger tips issue but not that bad. Thank you for sharing .
