I should add:

Our chemo dr told us that not everyone can do 3 chemo's and although 3 are best; 2 chemo's were still good; but one was not.

I feel my Dad's hearing has improved somewhat; and remember he already was hard of hearing; so it might not be an issue for you.

My Dad (Sam) at age 69 dx SCC Base of Tongue T1N2C Well-Diff - March 2006.

35 IMRT rads & 3 Cisplatin chemos - Apr-June/06. Nodes shrunk 50% Dr's suggest ND. Negative PET - he declined ND.

March/07 Had Bilateral ND. No Cancer!! Doing Well!
