Just been to see my GP here in France re my ear problem and he was brilliant. He is sending me to a ENT specialist but did consult his records and it does state that Herceptin can cause deafness. The pounding in my ears, he said, could be caused by stress. He did call it something but he couldn't translate it into English for me. I feel a little happier thats it not all in my mind, but I suppose I should be worried about losing my hearing and is it permanent? Thats for another day!
