Roma, please make sure you have your husbands hearing tested before he goes for chemo. Cisplatin can cause high frequency hearing loss. It did not happen to me but it has affected others here. Has your husband had floride trays made by the dentist? Its important that he sees a dentist prior to starting treatment so any questionable teeth can be pulled. Im sorry if this has already been done and I missed it. Sadly there are so many new people here that it can be hard to keep track.

I was given my first dose of chemo the same day as my first radiation treatment.

Thank you Roma and Minh for being kind. I try to help when I can. Just trying to make things a little easier for the patients.

Best of luck with everything.
