cataracts
I just found out Wed. that my very small cataracts have been growing during my treatments and now I will have to have surgery as soon as I finish the Tykerb and Herceptin. (That will be Nov. 18th) Have any of you had these develop or worsen during treatment? Do you know what has caused this - the chemo or the Decodron? Also, what outcomes have you had? I will appreciate any input you have.
