Hi all,
Has anyone else experienced puffy eyes whilst on chemo?
I'm on day 21 after first chemo of EC and since day 18/19 i have noticed my eyelids are puffy.
I believe i read it is a symptom, just wondered if anyone had any advise regarding helping the puffiness go down.
Thank you in advance. X
Hi Ren82, I had this with ec-t too. I genuinely thought my eyes would never look ok again, really puffy, and they ran constantly and oddly towards the end of chemo and for ages after I got sore painful white spots in the bags too. It was dreadful. I used Theloz duo eye drops and bought those gel eye patches which gave me some relief but in honesty I didn’t find anything that stopped it. I am pleased to report that a few months after chemo finished they did go away and looked loads better, hang in there, all the best x
