Seems like this may be what we are looking at.
Won't know for sure till we see the neurologist on 11/9.
Hubby's Dr at OU Otholanthology Clinic said this is a definite possibility. He did say that only 1% of all his patients have this complication from the HNC radiation.
Looks like can be a side effect of breast cancer radiation treatments.
Not a diagnosis we want to hear but then again I have already heard the scariest words ever.
We made it though that........ we can do this if need be.
