I've been on folfori had 6 cycles now on a three week break while I have my scan and get results, my eyes have been watering something awful constantly running not sure what to do ?
Unfortunately watery eyes is one of the side effects with this treatment.
I would mention it to your oncology team. Although your eyes are watering they may also be quite dry and sore. Your oncology team may be able to suggest some eye drops.
When you have your three week break hopefully this symptom will settle down but do mention it when you go for your next appointment.
We have some information on our website about problems with eyes and treatment which you can see here
You may find applying a warm compress which may help relieve some of your symptoms.
I do hope that this improves for you.
If you would like and ring and chat through any of this with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.
Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
