I am having a Pre-TX hearing exam on Tuesday. I asked my ENT about it, and he said it generally doesn't happen, but that it would be a good idea to get a base line. He also said that i would not lose my hair. Is that true? Is hair loss a side effect of cisplatin? I still do not know exactly whet regimen I wil be on as I have yet to meet the MO. I go to him on Tuesday as well.
