jstdzy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi All, I'm new to this site. Wanted to post because right now I'm cancer free when I should be dead. Just because you have it doesn't mean a death sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstdzy Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm still a little shell shocked about the whole ordeal. It's good to know there are people that understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMilo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm not sure of protocol here, if I can pose a question here or should ask somewhere else. Admins, if this is improper - please remove and notify me, I will learn here, I promise. JstDzy - you posted hearing loss confirmed due to Cisplatin. If it's not too rude of me to ask, how did this happen? Could anything have been done to prevent it? If I'm out of line, please let me apologize now...

Bud Baker Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Welcome to the forum, jstdzy. I can relate to that shell shocked feeling, as can most people here. Glad you're doing well; it's always great to hear from another survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstdzy Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Cmilo, It started out with my ears ringing in July '08. My OC told me it was probably due to the cisplatin and did I want to continue with my last round of chemo in Aug? Having ringing ears or possibly dying (in my mind) of lung cancer wasn't a hard decision. They don't really tell you what to expect with chemo, because we all react to it so differently. If you're Dad's ears start ringing worry about it then, you have enough on your plate right now. Take it as it comes, it all might turn out amazing! My prayers are with you! P.S. Thanks for posting the link and the welcomes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
