Unfortunately my husbands' hearing loss didn't show up until the end of treatment. Being a caregiver is a TOUGH job. Better days are ahead but they are probably hard to imagine this soon out of treatment. Hang in there and feel free to ask ANY questions. You have found a great source of support and information.
