Hi! I was looking for some advice. I have a friend who just completed chemotherapy and is in the midst of radiation for Stage II BC (ER/PR-, HER2-). She is currently having vision problems. Dizziness at times and now has a completely different prescription in one of her eyes. Instead of talking to her oncologist, she went to her eye doctor and he said it has to do with the way her eye lids are drooping (from being tired). She also has formed a stymatism (not sure if I spelled it correctly). I was wondering if anyone has had the same type of reaction? Should she be worried about other things? Thanks!
