Re: Vectibix
I'm getting 12 rounds total if I can hack it.
After 5, my rash is finally clearing with twice daily Doxycycline and a strong steroid cream for my face. A dermatologist should be able to help if you don't have onenyet. But now my skin on my hands is splitting quite a bit. Acquafor with cotton gloves at night is helping - and SuperGlue for the cracks that do pop up!

Re: Vectibix
I had vectibix for 4 rounds before surgery. It was a tough go as I had about every side effect one could get, but it really did a number on the tumors!
The rash lasted for several months after I completed the 4 rounds and I lost quite a bit of hair afterwards too.
Hang in there,
Dave
