I had nasopharyngeal carcinoma (stage IV - T2N3) in 2002, and I completed induction chemotherapy and IMRT radiation in 2003. I've done well since. Now I have a cerebrospinal fluid leak from my right ear. I have suffered no head trauma so I suppose the insult to my dura is probably from the radiation. Anyone else experience this?

johng, welcome. I have had no spinal fluid leak from any of my treatments. Did you have any surgery as a part of your treatments? I'm not doctor enough to comment further. Hope all goes well for you.
