Angel,

Regarding the hearing loss...what's done is done...you can't take back that last Cisplatin treatment but before you have your next chemo, make sure you see the doc and tell him your symptoms. He will most likely change you to Carboplatin to lessen the hearing problem. Just make sure you see him prior to the chemo treatment, even if you are not scheduled.

Bill's blood counts dropped pretty drastically. You need to be aware of being immune suppressed and do everything possible to stay out of public places and exposing yourself to unnecessary germs and viruses. Wash your hands often, etc. Don't be scared about getting sick, just be a little more cautious than you regularly would. I am sure the nurses at the MO's office gave you a list of things to watch for, one being to call if you start running a fever over a certain degree. An infection right now is more dangerous because your counts are so low. Just be aware.

Good luck in the next few weeks...it's the hardest time.
