hi, i dont tend to come on this forum much, mainly on the incurables one. Need advice from anyone on eribuin or been on it. Tis is my fourth treatment overthe last 5 years. i have dadabout 10 cycles of eribullin since dec this year. although tom be truthful is more like 5 full cycles and 5 half cycles .problem is btween day 1 and day 8 my platelets plummet below the level they will treat at. Now that is a pain, but my main concern is i have had blurry eyes. They have been present since capecitabine but keep getting worse. to the point now that i have stopped driving . anyone else had similar, and if you stopped eribulin did the side effects go away? especially the eyes?
thanks.
Chemo can affect the eyes in different ways: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancer-in-general/treatment/cancer-drugs/side-effects/eyes
Definitely give you MO a call and ask to get it checked out.
thanks for the link. my consultant confirmed the blurry eyes were side effect and recommended some drops. sadly the dont seem a great help. will consider seeing opthamologist in case they can suggest anything.
