Last chemo tomorrow (I hope) but had strange reaction to last chemo and immunotherapy. Last cycle was 3 weeks ago and suddenly on this Friday and yesterday my eyes started playing up and my neuropathy was much worse especially last night - usually get this reaction about 5-6 days after treatment but not nearly 3 weeks later and having new treatment tomorrow
Anyone out there had a similar reaction
Hi Half cup full
I didn't have immunotherapy, but I did have the chemo. Carboplatin and paclitaxel.
I had sore eyes and blurriness. I got prescribed some moisturising eye drops that did have some effect. It took a while but things did return to normal- although I do now need reading glasses.
My neuropathy persists and is often worse at night.
Best thing is to talk to your CNS tomorrow before the next treatment.
Good Luck
Jane
