Michelle- My husband had radiation to one side of his neck and he also got the symptoms you are mentioning. It also seems like they had them on the same timeline. Try not to panic. These side effects are so individual. The doctors make me angry when they say that they are not caused by the treatment. My husband is exhausted from the treatment he's getting and his oncologist told him it was not a side effect of the Erbitux yet when I went on the website, it was listed as a common side effect. I go with my husband to his appointments because he doesn't listen very well either. Hang in there, Sue
