Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Well, now we get the side effects. The acne rash, which is actually more like heat rash so far on Phil's back and shoulders. Stomach bloating and constipation, and fatigue. In the whole scheme of things we realize that this is a little thing and actually could well mean that despite the discomfort the Erbitux is indeed working. Of course it is still uncomfortable for him. The TV interview went well although I wish the doctor had been a little more convincing about the need for testing even at younger ages like 20 or 30. He stuck to the line that this is necessary when one has history of cancer but not as a general rule. Unfortunately we were not interviewed together and could not dispute his argument with facts that people have been diagnosed in their 20's and 30's with stage 3 & 4 colon cancers. We still stand by testing for every adult and have even received a few notes thanking us for insisting on it. Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
