Hi All
I'm after advice please. I know there must be someone on the forum who has probably experienced my query. I think i just spent 5 minutes thinking about what the subject header should be.
Anyway, well past post treatment for Nasopharynx and all ok (ish). My inner ear is full and will not unblock as a result of radiotherapy. Hearing aids booked in. My ear feels under a great deal of pressure and it may well one day unblock. Consultant doesn't want to introduce grommets as he reckons it will just lead to a manky infected ear. I trust him, he's saved my life already and talks sense. My question.. i'm nearly there, Has anyone else got the same thing and gone on an airplane? I don't want to put my eardrum under more pressure (it is literally sucking itself inwards). If it bursts on the way to holiday that's just game over as far as having a good holiday goes. I've not even looked in to insurance yet.
Love as always
Alex
Hi Alex. I’ve had a blocked ear and no way would I fly. If grommets have been mentioned it’s middle ear, by the way

Correct Middle ear not inner ear. Good spot

Good evening Alex, i would personally avoid flying as it could make matters worse, and that's the last thing you need after getting this far plus it would ruin your holiday and be expensive if treatment is needed should anything go wrong. Good luck

Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
Thanks team
Centreparcs now booked for half term holidays. I didn't fancy a blown eardrum at the all inclusive where i can't taste or drink alcohol
I remember thinking deep into the worse moments of treatment that if i came out the other side i'd take the family to Costa Rica, for now an overpriced lodge in Warminster will suffice.

Costa Rica is beautiful. Wonderful scenery. I spent one Christmas there hiking …. hence the title of the blog.
Save it for when you are better
