marc,
andy got cisplatin, but his hearing actually got better with it...go figure!
during radiation, he has lost approx 80% of his hearing. but he had constant swelling of the nasopharynx...which can cause hearing loss. we are on a "wait n see" to see how much comes back after radiation ends. although he will do 1 more week of radiation soon, he got a 4 week break in treatment and it has not improved.
