6-5 Day

Had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Debo this morning for a basic check-up and to make sure all was well. Since he's the ENT doctor, we talked to him about the issues I've been experiencing with my hearing. About the only symptoms I'm having now is a slight ringing in the ears. He basically looked in my ears, cleaned out some wax, and had the audiologist run a hearing test. Tests showed that my right ear is within specs, but I have a loss of high frequency in my left ear. This had already been noted when I had a hearing test done by the VA when I retired from the Navy. I'm gonna try to get the results from the test I had earlier and get them to Dr. Debo, so we can establish some kind of baseline to see what if any loss has occurred since I started the Chemo treatment.

That's about all we can do about the hearing issue right now. Not sure if I'll still get the Cisplatin on Tuesday or not.

PICC line dressing got changed this afternoon and is looking much better.

Food is tasting better and better so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible since I only have a few more days left.

That's all for now!
