And this was my first post @blanchette ! I am also taking a break from infusions With my eye sight being so bad -- blurred vision, sensitivity to sun, & eye fatigue -- and still no diagnoses as to what it is or answers as to whether it would keep happening, I just could not keep going with infusions at this time. I need for my eye sight to get better before I return to having infusions. I just wish I knew for sure that it is severe dry eye. The article below is one of the few I've found on this issue and it does mention dry eye as one of the conditions.

Thanks for that link, @annalena, Yesterday I had appt at our localish comprehensive cancer center. Revised treatment plan is I will keep my next (4th) chemo infusion schedule, but without any immunotherapy agent (i.e., Keytruda). I am interested to see how I will feel after infusion with only chemo and no Keytruda. My 5th and 6th (last?) infusions will include a different immunotherapy agent: dostarlimab. Let's hope that's the ticket! Wishing you the very best in your rapid vision recovery.
