Hi, my eyes have been fine, I wear contacts and no change. Other side effects I still have is tips of my fingers and toes are still numb, back pain and hip pain but not all of the time, I don't sleep well either. But this could be down to the hormone therapy I'm having (tamoxifen and zoladex). Hopefully they will improve with time. It is a relief to get through it all, it's odd not having as many appointments to go to, I'm starting to feel like I can get on with life.

Looking forward to the day when the appointments become less. Heading now for my 3rd chemo a week today. Half way, hurrah! Now we have the added stress of the the Corona virus as vulnerable with low blood counts. My oncologist is doing a telephone consultation this week to keep me away from the hospital, so they are taking it seriously. It's made it even harder as scared of going out and having visitors! Great timing. 
I too have numb finger tips. Probably no point in having eyes tested until after the chemo, I read that sometimes your eyes can change colour!

So glad you have got through all the treatment, it's a hell of a journey and slowly you can start enjoying life again, I expect it takes some adjusting and to the medication too.

Wishing you the best

Ahh it's not fun is it. The first couple of days not too bad then the side effects kick in. I had plenty of anti sickness tablets, I also bought pressure point wrist bands from the chemist. The steroids made me have weird dreams. Drink plenty of water or fluids. I phoned the oncology nurses quite a few times and took my temperature constantly. You will start feeling better soon and the 3rd week I feel pretty good.

I have my 3rd chemo tomorrow and it seems to follow a pattern . At least you know what to expect the next one,

I'm concerned about government guidelines released today about vulnerable people like us going through chemo. Hopefully it won't be delayed as just want to get it over with. How unlucky are we to have a Virus in the middle of it!

Keep safe, hope you feeling better,

Silver 

Yes, timing is terrible. Will probably need more tablets as only given enough for 3 to 4 days after chem.  Eek! Stay well.  Lorna xx

Hey 

The oncologist rang me this afternoon (Sunday!) to say they are not going ahead with chemo and going to schedule me for surgery instead. 

The rollercoaster just took another turn :-( 

I was only given a few days of anti sickness but found nausea subsided. Appetite and taste buds strange, I had a mango for my dinner one night! I'm worried about going to the hospital for chemo with this virus around,my son sent me a mask so I'm wearing that tomorrow. 
Be glad when all this is over.
