Cetuximab and Radiation

This  is my first post, primarily because I have not found a kindred spirit on this discussion board.  On February 26, I had a cancerous (SCC)  removed from my cheek.  It was not in the parotid gland, but near the duct.  There was no evidence of a primary source  The tumor was sitting on the facial muscle, and was discreet. Three different doctors thought it was a cyst.  The fourth did a  FNB,and then ordered a CAT scan Feb.23,  diagnosed Feb. 25, removed Feb. 26.  my surgeon was phenomenal.  No injury to facial nerve or muscle.  Six weeks later I began cetuximab weekly for 6 weeks, while concurrently receiving 30 radiation treatments.   Side effects for Cetuximab: horrendous rash which eventually had to be treated by a dermatologist.  Two weeks after Cetuximab treatment has ended,  the rash is resolving.  I am having more difficulty with the side effects of the radiation.  Sore tongue, dry mouth, mucous.  I cannot tolerate the lack of taste, so my diet is protein shakes.  Nevertheless,  I would definitely do the Cetuximab, and the radiation.   Aggressive action is necessary to defeat the beast.
