Here's looking at you kid!
I don't know if it was the chemo or the Herceptin or just plain getting older, but I really need glasses now! I find I have to hold small print items at arms length and at night I need to squint to see distance...
If the chemo has the ability to weaken/damage healthy, fast growing cells, then one can only assume that it does a number on our eyes...
I also find that when I get a bug bite, it takes much longer to heal. A simple mosquito bite turns into a red blotch that lingers for weeks!
Seems like I find things going on with my body that I did not have going on before cancer...
There was a post regarding Herceptin side effects several weeks ago and all these symptoms were included in the list of women who replied. Seems like its a never ending disease!
