Back in the clinic, for a second dose of Cetuximab, and feeling pretty good. Had the usual (minor) discomforts since the weekend, maybe slightly more pronounced than cycles 1 and 2, but quite tolerable. Seems the MAB won't at least yet, exacerbate things.
It has, though, had one desired(!) side effect... A rash on my torso. Nothing elsewhere yet, particularly nothing on my face or neck ("give it time!"), but I'm delighted to have the rash because they say it's a good indicator of the MAB working!
As for my hair - almost all the black ones in my beard have now gone, but the white ones have steadfastly refused to budge. And my head? "A mild thinning" according to the family - except my eyebrows which have each lost their outer quarter.
All in all... Steady as she goes. We just hope it's working!
