Side Effects Of Chemo/photon Therapy

Have been undergoing chemo and Photon treatments for metastic Squamous cell carcinoma in my throat and lymph nodes on one side of my neck. After 4 weeks of treatments have problems swallowing, throat pain, dry mouth, water tastes salty and food has no flavor. I’m also getting ocular migraines and ringing in my ears after Photon Treatments. Food with no flavor I can deal with, but, water tasting salty is really frustrating. Any ideas out there as to what is causing what?

Unfortunately, it is hard to even guess, since those are well known side effects of almost all cancer therapies. I understand how the salty water can be frustrating, I was on a medication, once, that caused it, thankfully, I was able to just switch to something else.

Do you know anything more specific regarding what chemo drugs you are on? More details might help to narrow down the culprit.
