[quote=Stily1]Hi Angelia,

I was told that "peripheral neuropathy" is a possible side-effect of Cisplatin. It's basically nerve damage that shows up in one's extremities such as feet and fingers and can manifest as tingling or numbness. Hearing loss/damage is also possible for the same reason. It's worth noting that radiation treatment can also do some damage to the nerves in the spine, but this, too, is hopefully temporary.

Both of those side effects happened to me. Hearing tests confirmed that I have trouble hearing sounds in the higher range and if I'm in a crowded room, I find it very hard to have a conversation because I can't hear everything that is being said to me. I was told that if I get worse or am frustrated, hearing aids are an option.

The neuropathy is annoying, but I do forget about it most of the time. I am a runner and it does feel weird when I run longer distances, but it doesn't keep me from doing it.

It is interesting that of all of the side effects I was told about, hearing loss was never mentioned until I brought it up halfway through my treatments. I was treated with cisplatin 3x.
