I have finished 4 rounds of Taxotere and Carboplatin with Herseptin. I have noticed that my eyes are very dry and my eyes twitch on the eyelids and directly underneath. Also, my vision is not as sharp. My doctor ran a magnesium test and that was fine and I am using natural tears for the dryness which helps. Has anyone had this experience of twitching and what causes it and how can one treat it or does it pass?? Also, a I am experiencing the arches of my feet cramping. Again, my dr. checked my magnesium,potasium and calcium levels and they are all fine. Please Advise

    Hi siegel49. I did 4x AC, followed by 12x taxol with herceptin (still on the herceptin) and I have been told by my husband and daughter that my jaw twitches at times. It's slight, I'm not even aware of it. I haven't mentioned it to my drs yet. Now I think I will. I'll let you know if I find out anything. Also have dry eyes and some vision problems. Had it checked out with opthamologist and everythings fine.

    Hi siegel, I can't help a lot, but my arch of my left foot still, and has cramped since chemo. Had 4 rounds Adryimicin, 4 rds Taxol, 4 rds of Cytotoxin. Haven't had eye stuff. Wondering if side effects from Taxotere (this and Taxol extremely similar). Good Luck, Julia

    Hi sieg! You'll do fine. Adriamicin was easiest of all three. Not near the bone/muscle pain. I had to have neulasta tummy shots every two weeks that caused pain too, not sure if your having that or not. god bless, JUlia

    My neulasta shots were in the "fleshy part of my hip" (ahem). Glad they weren't in my tummy. Ouchy.
