Had our meeting with our MO & RO today.

The 'ear' problem was more close to the type of effect you have when you are on a airplane when it becomes 'blocked' rather than a ringing sound that you get after being at a rock concert.

Furthermore, it wasn't an ongoing issue but short 10-15 second bursts once ever 2-3 days.

Hence, both the MO & RO agreed that this was not due to the Cisplatin but in fact the Radiotherapy as it can impact the drainage system from the ear to the neck.

They were very pleased with how Jen was going with the treatment, and told us they will keep a close eye on it over the next few weeks (we have weekly meetings with both of them).

So far so good but the Dietician and the head RO both warned us that we should be prepared for the Radiotherapy side effects that usually start from week 2-3 so we are holding on tight and trying to get as much nutrition in as possible.

Also bought 24 x Fortesip / 24 x Sustagen / 24 x Ensure just in case we need some back-up with the diet as well.

Will keep you all updated on how we go over the next few weeks. I n the meantime, we have our baby back with us for the long weekend as it is a public holiday here with the Melbourne Cup (Horse Racing) on next Tuesday.

God bless and our prayers are with all those who continue to battle this disease.
