Hi
Just wondering if anyone has been on Trastuzumab emtansine (Kadcyla) and experienced Red, itchy, dry watery eyes and sensitivity to light and if so how did you deal with it.
I suffer from dry eyes anyway and use drops throughout the day but they are really bad.
Thanks
Hi
I haven't been on Trastuzumab emtansine, but I noticed your post had slipped pages - so I'm replying to 'bump' your post back to the 1st page in the hope that someone who can help is around at the moment.
Kindest Wishes, Lesley
Hi, I have had my 2nd cycle of Kadcyla and my eye is giving me grief. It feels gritty and sore and is definitely light sensitive.
i have been looking into whether it was a side effect if Kadcyla and it is beginning to look like it could be.
i have tried eye washes, artificial tears etc which gives temporary relief but any other suggestions would be welcome
