Hi. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but I seem to have really bad eye bags since starting chemo (11 sessions in now). 

Just wondered if anyone experienced similar? Could just be a coincidence rather than caused by it. 

  • Hi Sparkle498uk are you managing to sleep a restful sleep? Are you drinking plenty of water? Both of these things can contribute to bags developing for us. I also do facial exercises where I stretch the skin and make funny faces just to wake up that part of my eyes..all worth a try? Gailx

  • I do too! More noticeable for a few days after chemo though!

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
