Hi Michael,
Hope the ringing subsides. I find the doctor's response really unacceptable. Of course, we all hear the risks and play the odds but we expect symptom management and control and palliation when the untoward happens to us. I hope this week brings some relief and better times for you and yours. I don't know what they can do for the ears - certainly an ENT should take a look - doesn't wax get plugged up as a side effect sometimes? Keep good thoughts for John- chemo #3 this week (maybe!). 10 more booster radiation txs and we're done. You are well on your way too!
Peace and all good things,
Janet
