The rash from Erbitux started four days after the first infusion. It wasn't too bad until two days after the second infusion (9 days post first infusion).
The rash is now all over my chest, face, and back. Not only is it disgusting to see, it's painful to the touch, it bleeds if the rash is disturbed, and the topical ointment prescribed does absolutely nothing. Thank you mouse protein and chemo. I guess I'm very much allergic to this chemo.
There is blood all over my pillow when I wake up in the morning. It feels like a million needles pushing into my head from my hair follicles pushing into my scalp.
I'm calling my medical oncologist tomorrow to see if we delay treatment or stop this chemo altogether.
