My husband has been on cetuximab since Dec. 07, It's a 6 mo. trial used along with the standard protocol, his being four rounds of irinotecan and cisplatin with radiation. He had the Ivor-Lewis operation done laproscopicaly in October. He was diagnosed with IV4A SSC last June. His skin broke out a lot in the beginning but with meds it now looks almost normal. just a bit reddish. He gets little cuts around his fingernails and has found Nexcare Skin Crack Care, a paint on protective to work well for that. The oddest thing is that his hair is a thick brown and his eyelashes are longer and thicker too. His hair doesn't grow too fast though. He's 66 and had very little greying before but some thinning. His hairline has advanced also. His doctor jockes that he should have a side business in curing baldness. He'll have CT scans every 3 mo. for 5 years and every 6 mo after that. His first two scans have been clear. After 4 stretches his new esophagus is workiing well and his 1/3 sized stomach is less fussy, He started out with a 5% chance of a cure and now it's moved up to 50%. He got clear margins on his operation. I'm still very frightened but feel so blessed with my husband's progress. I'm very hopeful and want to share that hope with you. God Bless You
