Cindy,
When I first started treatment at M.D. Anderson they scheduled regular appointments with the staff audiologist, who tested and charted my hearing to see where I was at the beginning and if it was getting worse from the chemo and radiation. Of course I learned what all wives already know...I don't hear worth a darn. I did not hear all that well to begin with, and the last audiologist that I saw recommended that I go to a private audiologist and see about getting fitted for a hearing aid. So far, vanity has not allowed me to do it. What? What did you say? Oh well...

Hang in there Cindy,
Danny G.
