Kris, Dave and the Lumps: update

Friday June 25th, Chemo round 3 number 12

The chemo itself was uneventful. When we talked with the Dr. she decided to have us get another brain scan just to rule out problems in that area in relation to Kris' Migraines. Yes, she's still getting them. If we don't act aggressively enough, she ends up in urgent care. In fact, she had one yesterday (July 2nd) but we were able to take care of it without going to urgent care this time.

Last Sunday, I believe, Kris complained that her vision was blurry. She took out her contact and rinsed out her eye and things seemed to be better so we were thinking bad contact. However, the blurred vision came back with new contacts and rinsing/changing didn't help. It's been getting progressivly worse going from blurriness to 'grey'. Yesterday afternoon (the migraine was pretty much in check at this point) we went to see an Eye Dr. and he found no retinal detachment (good news!) nor any other reason for the blurriness. He gave her eye drops, told her to use them frequently and to call Monday with any changes. This morning she woke up and it's getting dark in her right eye (left eye is unaffected)... we fear that she is going blind in the right eye and are not sure what to do from here, save the usual: see the Dr. and follow orders. My hope is that it is somehow related to the chemo and thus temporary. Yes, we've both said that if it WERE the chemo, it would be both eyes... I argue that maybe for some odd reason her right eye is more susceptible than her left. Long and short is, we dunno... we just know we have another storm to weather.
