Drug Side Effect

I called the Supportive Care unit at my cancer center yesterday. I wanted them to know my vision had become slightly fuzzy over the past week or two and wondered if that was a side effect of my new medication and if so, was it serious. They were surprised that I was having this side effect at such a low dosage (it is more common in higher doses), so they asked me to stop taking the medication to rule out other causes for the blurred vision. I stopped it last night and this morning my vision is back to normal. I’ve decided I’m pretty susceptible to many drugs; maybe that was why I had an allergic reaction to Cetuximab a year+ ago. Well, eye vision issue probably solved. I’ll wait a day or two more to make sure.

Stay healthy and take care everyone.
