So, my husband has had lower abdominal pain on and off for the past two days.  It got so bad this morning that he went to ER.  Long story short...CT Scan showed a 4mm kidney stone!  He has never had kidney stones before so I am wondering if this could be related to the Erbitux?  Or radiation?  Or maybe the fact that he is sort of switching from a liquid diet back to solid foods?  

For those that don't know...hubs was treated with 8 rounds of Erbitux and 35 radiations for HPV+ BOT SCC. Stage IVa. No Peg.  He is almost at 8 weeks post treatment and generally doing well until these pains came along.  Doc claims this stone should "pass" (OUCH) soon and he'll be good as new.  

Anyone else experience this??
