3 weeks out of tch chemo question

My eyes will just water constantly and my legs above my knees get real tired after walking too much and I need to sit down....anybody have that?

My eyes watered terribly throughout Chemo and for a short time afterwards. My legs still ache at times but I think it is due to tamoxifen. I walk on my treadmill 5 days a week ..just a simple 20 minute mile, and I find it helps.

I experienced the same thing with TCH. I had extreme weakness in my legs. It has been two years and I still don't think they are back to normal. It took a few months for my eyes to quit watering, but they did quit.

I had the same right through chemo, it is temporary and will clear up, a short walk daily helps build your stamina and the weakness in your legs should ease.

My legs muscles feel like I did a bunch of squats. Or if I walk up and downstairs my knees burn. Would massage therapy help??? My watery eyes I have tried everything. And end up with a cold wash wrap for 20 minutes thar helps. Tomorrow I go in to nuclear radiology for an injection of die then leave a few hours and come back Ina few hours for imagining,,,anyone have those do they hurt?

My nose watered constantly, and my eyes were watery also. After my 4th round of TCH, my legs had that same sensation. I still walked but stopped alot. I described it as concrete legs, my legs felt like they became heavy and fatiqued. After my last chemo this sensation did go away. It was very gratifying when I would take that same walk and I could see I did not have to stop as much, so I knew I was getting better.

We all get a variety of side effects - some more than others. The watery eyes goes away so hang in there. I started muscle weakness/cramping after my 4th round of TCH and began supplementing with 1500 mg of Glutamine - it seemed to help me. Check with your Onc to see if supplements will be allowed.
