My ear has fluid in it from radiation, and the tube is damaged anyway so it could be a chronic problem. The doctor says he thinks I'll be ok flying, but there's no guarantee and I'm really afraid of being on the plane and screaming and it being horrible. I do have pain meds left over from treatment(vicodin and fentanyl breakthrough) and I'm debating just bringing a few on the flight and going for it. If it's a chronic problem I can't just avoid flying forever. Of course one solution would be not to go....but it's to a good friend's wedding and I already bought a GREAT dress... Thanks, I could really use some help deciding and my husband is tired of hearing me debate it! The trip is in 3 weeks. Mel
