Thanks, David, for your feedback on the hearing side effect. Incidentally, I will be at the hospital today (for a different check up) and will try to schedule a session with my chemo oncologist.

Sorry if I seem to have started a different topic on this thread, but I thought I was replying on the same topic regarding cisplatin side effects, per Angelia's initial post on Nov 01 ("I was just wondering if you could tell me some of the side effects of IMRT and cisplatin."). Perhaps I misunderstood.
