How is your vision now and did the fluid buildup go away? Are there any side affects from the shots?

@elc90 Hi there. The avastin shots helped the fluid buildup under the retina, but the scar tissue from the radiation caused a macular pucker and my retina has pressure on it and is stretched, so I'll be having a vitrectomy surgery when they can get me in (probably March, hopefully sooner). That will (hopefully) help the distortion I have in that eye. It will; however, cause me to need cataract surgery also. I can't complain. Any day above ground is a good day for me.

Warm Regards!

@elc90 How are you doing?
