I was going to ask if the hearing loss would be sudden or gradual...I've had ringing in my ears since January (a symptom of NPC)...so for me that wouldn't be an indicator that my hearing was taking a beating....I'm used to the buzzing, now.

There was an OCF event in Columbia Falls? That's only 15 miles away, and none of the folks I've met here (so far) with OC mentioned it, so am thinking they didn't know about it either. We are trying hard to get a support group together...so far we've only found 6 people total in our area, who have suffered H & N cancer.

I'm keeping a positive outlook...and I think my "daily attitude" is pretty good, considering I'm doing amifostine and rads everyday....just always glad to get home!!
