      <title>erbitux</title>
      <description>I have a question.&amp;nbsp; I am stage 4 colon cancer with met to lung and aorta ureters.&amp;nbsp; After my first treatment I went into antiphalatic shock.&amp;nbsp; I now take steriods before and after my treatments.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; MY QUESTION.&amp;nbsp; After every treatment, I bleed through my kidneys, I dont mean pink tinge, I mean blood and lots of it.&amp;nbsp; I will drop 2-3 grams in HgB.&amp;nbsp; Has anyone else had this problem?&amp;nbsp; I am beginning to think, I am having allergic reactions after each of my treaments but the steriods are helping to keep the signs at a minimum.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I guess my nex trip is to my nephrologist to ask if this is damaging my kidneys.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for any inof/</description>

      <title>RE: erbitux</title>
      <description>Hi, I looked on the www.erbitux.com website and didn&amp;#39;t see anything about bleeding or kidneys, but there is a statement about reactions:To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bristol-Myers Squibb at1-800-721-5072 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatchYou may want to call Bristol-Myers.I am on Erbitux and have the awful rash. I have not experienced any bleeding.</description>
