Panitumumab "Vectibix reduced my CEA (cancer marker) from 25.2 all the way down to 2.5 within the matter of a few months. The skin reaction sucks. Thankfully, I am able to undergo a revolutionary surgery to remove the portion of my liver with the metastatic cancer, so I have just recently been able to stop the Vectibix. I am hoping I will get my beautiful skin back."
