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 am sorry you have metastatic TNBC. I do too but I haven’t experienced cape. I presume you will have tried various eye drops? If not I am sure a pharmacist could help identify the best ones to try.
