Just been sent home from chemo appointment as what I thought was dry eye seems to be conjunctivitis caused by Panitumimab.   Ouch!! Very sore and uncomfortable.   Got some drops from chemist so hopefully will soon be feeling better!!  Felt so daft as never imagined it would be conjunctivitis!!! Probably should have phoned hospital earlier! Now on deferment for 2 weeks.  I will take the break though!! And enjoy it! Have a great weekend all!!! Xx Lin

  • Hi LinSa, it is quite a sore thing but if you wear sunglasses in the house and while watching TV that does help! Enjoy the break, I'm so pleased you saw the positive side of things!

    Love Annette x
