Hi Angelia. John had EXCELLENT hearing before the Cisplatin. He does have hearing loss from the Cisplatin (upper ranges). His hair did thin out a lot from the chemo but is filling back in. John also lost hair along the base of his neck from the radiation. John's major side affect from the radiation and the Cisplatin was the constant, excessive mucus and nausea. John was on both Zofran and Compazine all through treatment and up to a month past treatment. You can do this! John is almost 7 months out of treatment and doing GREAT! The feeding tube was only in for 5 months. He has gained 5 lbs. back from the 30 he lost. Food taste and feel still isn't back to normal but is getting better. Hang in there! Hugs, Wanda
