Ear Popping After Six Treatments of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel

I finished six weekly gem/doce treatments three weeks ago. I have not had any ear popping issues. I did get a nasty Urinary Tract Infection after my treatment and was on an antibiotic for 5 days. Maybe gem/doce affects your immune system negatively. I always have ringing in my ears and I do not think it has gotten worse since my treatments.

I also get UTI's but with no bacteria growth. So, no antibiotics. I had 15 treatments and the last 3 were brutal with the UTI symptoms. It's been rough. I take pyridium and Advils as needed, and the heating pad makes me feel better. The Dr sees no infection, so he thinks the bladder is irritated from the Gem/Doce. The best part though is that I am cancer free for now. I go back in December for a Cysto.
I was diagnosed 3 years ago. NMIBC high risk, CIS. If anyone has this experience, please give me some advice. Thank you. Blessings to all.
