I am having hearing side effects, some little airplane like pressurization fizzles, that sort of seem like a ten second tinnitus, then stop. I had hearing tested, and showed a deficit at highest range (which might have preceded the treatment-- I have no baseline). I also am experiencing a little neuropathy, like losing grasp on a water glass, for instance. I've told my MO and am heading for hydration today.
Head and neck cancer, Squamous cell carcinoma, HPV p16, Stage 3N (6/14) Occult origin; 58 year old male 35 rads & 2.5 doses Cisplatin chemo 7/10/14> 8/25/14 1.5 years clear of cancer, at this point.
