Erbitux - Anyone try it?

[mtsko]

Aloha!
I just got my latest scans, and after trying 6 different treatments, Erbitux and Oxliplatin SHRUNK the tumor! My dr said they have been seeing wonderful result w/ Erbitux. This is the only treatment that actually shrunk the tumor! Was wondering if there are more GOOD STORIES about Erbitux out there?

I have a love/hate relationship with Erbitux. I was diagnosed stage four last May and after using 5FU/Avastin/Oxaliplatin, I went into remission. I started an Erbitux/Avastin combo in January as a maintenance regimen. In April, I stopped the Erbitux because I hated the rash (which I still have) and I thought that I might be safe since I was still in remission, and had been since last September. So, I've been using Avastin as a single agent since mid-April and found out last week that I have a recurrence in my liver. I can't help but to wonder if I'd still be in remission if I'd stayed on Erbitux. Impossible to say ... but it's interesting that cancer came back after stopping that drug.
