"This seemed to help a lot in shrinking my tumor in my throat. Not much side effects, in fact, felt good. But the doctor said I had the max amount, went off of it, and the tumor blocked my throat again in 2 months. Now they say nothing more can be done for me. The pain is horrible, no one should have to go through this terrible cancer. I pray for some kind of help again."

"Taking for inoperable squamous cell thyroid. Will find out a couple of days if it worked on the tumor. Side effects: severe dry, flaking skin, sores in mouth, facial rash, and fatigue. Worst constipation I have ever had in my life... all worth it if it helps shrink the tumor!"

"Erbitux was prescribed weekly for my head & neck SCC Stage IV (lung metastasis) after Keytruda and prior radiation and platinum-based chemotherapy failed. It is given with Benadryl to ease side effects, which have been hoarseness, coughing, clearing of throat, facial rashes, and fatigue. The effect hasn't been fully evaluated yet, but my oncologist believes it has helped. If it can slow SCC progression and extend my life, then it is certainly worthwhile."
