Erbitux (cetuximab) for Head and Neck Cancer: My father-in-law was diagnosed with metastic squamous cell head and neck cancer. Had 6 weeks radiation but cancer had spread. Conventional chemo did nothing. Had large tumors, one breaking through the chest wall. Could not do daily tasks.
He started on Erbitux infusions and within four weeks two of the tumors had disappeared and the larger ones had shrunk. Didn't need pain medicines any more.
Side effects he experienced: blood infections from the PICC line, electrolyte imbalance, rash on his body.
He is happy with drug. He has lived several months longer then anticipated but he must stay on Erbitux or the cancer will come back.
