Blepharitis and dry eye syndrome from my treatments have been particularly bad the past few days and my doctor prescribed eye mask isn’t cutting it.

They sting so badly. I have two sets of prescription eye drops, one OTC drop and a prescription eye gel for night time. Add in the eye mask twice a day. My eyes have been like this for about 1.5 months and we keep trying different things.

Only 6 more chemo infusions to go, then maybe my eyes will start recuperating!

Can you or someone you know relate to my experience? If so, feel free to buy me a coffee or contribute towards some of my uninsured medical expenses.
