Hello. I’m in my sixties and onto my 5th round of Capecitabine for secondary metastatic TNBC in pleura of my lung. I’m managing the palmar plantar but have very weepy eyes which sting particularly first thing in the morning. Does anyone have a good solution for this?
Hi Maps
I have metastatic TNBC but have not experienced cape. I am sorry you are struggling with your eyes. You might want to post on one of our breast cancer forums as you will likely come across other people being treated with cape.
The main Breast cancer forum is the busiest.
There’s also the Triple negative breast cancer forum and the Secondary breast cancer forum which are both relevant to you but less busy.
