Wonderful news, Ned.
LOL now I'm thinking of changing my nickname to Ned.
Thanks everyone for the best wishes.
I got more news today about my hearing. The lady odiologist said I likely have permanent hearing loss due to cisplatin which is notorious, according to her, for causing moderate to severe hearing loss. I am in borderine hearing aid territory and she wants me to wear ear plugs when we rock out at practice and gigs. Ah well, ther nerw normal. Got to take the good with the bad because I am here, alive and writing about it. I'll take that over the alternative.
Best,

Congratulation's! Such great new's!
Congrats, of course, for all you have accomplished, Mick. Am sorry to learn of the hearing loss. My Cisplatin/FU5 history did nothing to my hearing ability, so I guess this is another example of how similar treatments affect people differently.
You mentioned the 5-years. Remember my ENT telling me that before I started treatment- that he wouldn't declare me C-free until 5-years down the road (after treatment). Probably is a Standard thing they go by, and nothing more, but I was told pretty-much the same as you. Rad and Onco talked about the C-free differently, like I'm already there. Kinda like their attitude/perspective more than our ENT's. Reckon such is H&N C, you know. We'll both get there, as will the vast majority, if not all, of us.
Again, EXCELLENT news.
