hi again,
cher here after the craziness of multiple new emails from friends just waking up and getting online.
I also got nocked off my isp for inactivity or for having too much time on
on a busy morning...doesn't usually happen but I was on here for a long long
time catching up on everyone's posts.
EYE SIGHT changes. Right after the second treatment, i started getting
eyestrain headaches, itchy, dry eyes, and lots of trouble focusing.
called the nurses at the onco office to see if it was a side-effect before calling
the eye doc, and sure enough...common problem...supposedly goes away
after treatment is over...however I read that the same sort of problem but
rather permanent occurs with tamoxif
