I was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer stage 2C, I think they called if. I had my first of 3 inpatient hospital stays last week and my first outpatient appointment is tomorrow.
I don’t entirely understand the different kinds of chemo but took a photograph of a booklet I was given when I initially got diagnosed, Etoposide and cisplatin are mentioned in it.
On Monday this week I noticed a distinct ringing in my left ear, I had had very mild tinnitus since I was 15/16 and lived with it but this has really disrupted my past few nights of sleep and taken a toll on me mentally.
For people who’ve gone through this treatment, did this ease up even somewhat once your treatment was completed? I am very scared about this, it might sound silly to some but I hope someone out there understands
Hi MasterFox66 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you're struggling with tinnitus since starting treatment. It isn't something I've ever had but I would imagine it's very unpleasant.
I've searched the group to see if there are any previous posts which mention tinnitus and found these for you to have a look through. You could then reply to any of the posters if you wanted to ask them any questions.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
