Now I have a cerebrospinal fluid leak from my right ear. I have suffered no head trauma so I suppose the insult to my dura is probably from the radiation. Anyone else experience this? John

Did you have any surgery as a part of your treatments? I'm not doctor enough to comment further. Hope all goes well for you.
