Has anyone ever had ringing in their ear after brain mets radiation? My summer-fall has involved brain surgery, cyberknife radiation, and 3 infusions of pembro, and somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd pembro infusion I started getting ringing in the ears on and off. The last 2 weeks it's been constant in the left ear.
My radiation doctor says the ringing is not related to the radiation, my oncologist says it's not related to the pembro but that I should move up my follow-up MRI currently scheduled for the end of this month. They're not worried it's something new but maybe edema, even though none of my treated mets is near the left ear canal. I'm getting nervous…has anyone experienced this side effect?
Also experiencing fatigue, muscle aches, and on & off heat flashes/chills…
Any of this sound familiar??

Maria, I had the ippi / nivo combo and 3 Cyber Knlfes to the brain. It's written up "tiny focus of enhancement in left auditory canal" on my MRI. My left ear rings at times but no change in size over a few years. Fatigue and muscle aches during treatment – he'll yea. Being NED for 4 years for some ear ringing, I'll take it.
