Hello Leniko

Thank you for your comment. I'm sure our members will be along soon to share their experiences. It's really important to inform your team of any side effects such as changes in vision. Please do call the chemotherapy hotline or other point of contact that you have been given, so that they can advise you.

I hope this side effect resolves for you soon.

Best wishes

yes! I was questioning if it was me. I have been off Gemzar since late December and it is not improving. I wonder if this is a known side effect. My vision is very blurry.

Yes, I confirm. I've taken only 3 infusions od Gemzar+Oxaliplatine and it gave me severe hematoxicity, but also my vision deteriorating. Definitely that "combo" is not for me and what more it doesn't work (my marker going up constantly). Now I'm wating for CT and if me cancer is still "only" in my peritoneum I will have the Pipac procedure next week.
