We're almost a year out of treatment, thrilled the prognosis is good, and we're successfully if painfully adjusting to the "new normal". As side effects probably from the chemo(other from rad), Z has lost a significant amount of hearing, some balance, and has peripheral neuropathy - an annoying numbness and tingling in his fingers and toes. This is one of the most troubling side effects because it is a sort of constant reminder that things aren't "old normal". (pain + worry = suffering). He may adjust to it over time, and it may get better, and he can take ibuprophen when it's bad but....ick. Any body else out there with this?
