eye issues again
It seems that every since chemo, it has been one thing or another with my eyes. First they were so dry that my corneas became affected. Then I was getting conjunctivits on and off. I was on steroid drops and ointments for months. Then I got something called a Calazion which is like a sty. Add another ointment for that. Now I have what looks like a sty but not on my eyelid...this is located on the skin by the outside corner of the eye. I have also had issues with small areas of irritated dry and red skin on my hands mainly and the bottom of my feet are peeling and cracking in some places but not the heels. I am only on Herceptin since very end of August and was never on any other chemo then A/C. Anyone else with these eye and skin problems? What's the solution?
