I can't believe they didn't mention the ringing in the ear thing but they should have and I would discuss this more with the MO. Mine said if he had known he would have switched me to Carboplatin which he said is just as good as Cisplatin but without the bad side effect. Don't ask me why I wasn't put on Carbo to begin with as I'm still mulling over his response to that question.
