Yes, I had trouble with the Velcad. It started to mess with my eyes and cause neuropathy.
Thank you. Just saw my oncologist. She decided it would be best for me to stop the treatment. She said since I’ve been on it for a whole year and my numbers have been really good, she said I would be fine, they will monitor me every three months and I should focus on the melanoma on my arm.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

My eyes are also messed up! I was diagnosed with blepharitis. My eyes water a lot and I also get post nasal drip and dripping down my throat. Eye dr. recommended washing with an eye wash twice a day and applying bacitracine to my eyes twice a day. No huge breakouts, but my eyes are always red and itchy. not supposed to wear eye makeup. Hasn't improved much in the two months I've been off velcade. Sending you good wishes!
