...are much better. The drops are cut back to 5 times per day, from 9 times per day. I'm to continue the Valtrex, 3 times a day for 10 more days, then I'll be on it once per day for quite a while as a precaution. The Dr is concerned about my corneas. My right cornea is the worst. The Dr is taking pictures of it each time I go in. She said it isn't typical, and she is worried that I may be developing veins in them as they try to heal.

I'm seeing my oncologist tomorrow. The tumors in my lungs are growing again, due to no chemo as we deal with the tumor in my brain. I'm hoping that we will be starting chemo up again soon.
The Lyrica is continuing to help with the numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. It is nice to know that there is something I can take to help.

When you see the doc, ask if the cornea issues could be because of the steroids. When Gwyn got bit by a rattler, I was already treating her for a hay poke to the eye, and the vet didn't want to give her Dex, (a steroid,) because she was afraid it would slow the healing of her eye. While the snake bite LOOKED like the worst problem, it was actually her eye that was!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
