Neddy5, TODAY please call your doctor (Primary Care or Internist) and tell him or her exactly how you feel. Print out your post for him or her. It's not unusual for cancer patients to need medicine for depression or anxiety. Your doctor can prescribe medicine that helps, but you have to let them know how it works in case they need to adjust the dosage.

Also ask for a referral to a Counselor and info on a support group. Let us know how you feel in a month! Best wishes.

Good luck You're a bit ahead of me in treatment. We'll hear..the cancer is gone Best wishes

Neddy5 my husband just told me the other day that he has what he refers to as static noises in his ear. He finished his chemo and rad in April of this year and this is the first time he's mentioned it. He also has limited sclc. I told him it could be from the chemo.

Welcome neddy5 to What Next. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. So glad you found us. There is a lot of information and support here.
I was diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2013, have had radiation and currently chemotherapy.
I have had some hearing loss and constant ringing in my ears. Was told if it does not go away in three to four months it will not go way. It hasn't. I have gotten used to it.
I would talk to your Dr. about the hearing. There are so many things/medications that may your situation. Keep us posted.
I wish you best.
