Erbitux rash, continued



No chemo this week or next. Doctor prescribed some minocycline (100 mg), which I take twice daily. Not really sure that's helping any, but for sure, the topical ointment did absolutely nothing.

We didn't even make it to week 3 of week 12 of Erbitux. I'm not sure I can take 10 more weeks of this chemo. I struggle sleeping at night because the rash itches so much. I want to ask my doctor to stop. I get the feeling she doesn't want to stop. Not yet. What do we do. What do we do.
