Re: Its all going wrong
Delaney - I'm so glad your news was good today. You didn't describe the vision problems and, while I've not fought nearly the battles you have, I did have vision problems after chemo and radiation. Turned out to be cataracts - they were accelerated by the drugs and I've just had one removed. With the new lens implanted I'm shocked by the difference and schedule to have the other eye done next Monday. Might be worth checking if you haven't already.
