I suggest creating a list of questions to ask your cancer team about radiation and cetuximab (Erbitux). Discuss what side effects may be likely for you and the risks of not taking these treatments.
- What side effects am I likely to experience?
- For how long?
- What can be done to help me prevent, reduce or manage these side effects and keep me as comfortable as possible?
- Are there other treatment options with fewer side effects?
- What are the consequences of no treatment or reduced treatment?

Answers to these questions might help you make your choices and prepare for treatment.
