Marcus;
No matter how you recieve it, stay in touch with your hearing. As Joanna mentions, if hearing gets "weird" start talking to your Dr.'s, and hopefully it's not too late to react if need be. It seems as though unless a patient is switched off Cisplatin early during treatment when hearing problems occur, once the hearing loss starts it's like trying to stop a freight train. My hearing issues did not arise until early in the second dose. My tubes had shrunk and were filled with fluid, presumably from the radiation, so they went forward with my final dose of cisplatin, thnking that the hearing would come back following treatment. As far as other physical reactions, I think the radiation had more to do with them than the chemo.
On a brighter note, I may not be hearing as well but I'm still breathing and smiling....

Best wishes,
Steve
