Hey there! I just wanted to say that you are not alone with the side effects from chemo after many years. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2008 at the age of 34 and went through 4 surgeries, 4 rounds of chemo and 35 radiations treatments. I have been done with everything since January 2009, but still have a lot of the side effects that you state...the blurry vision(which now i have to wear glasses for), night sweats, cold sweats, feeling cold and then feling hot, lots of hot flashes, nerve damage and nerve pain, gastrointestinal problems, chest pain on occaison, rapid heart rate, not being able to think clearly at times,nausea, chills sometimes and then rapidly after that getting hot..alternating, and weakness. They all tell me i am fine too..but i know it's got to be from all the chemo and that there has to be something they can do about the symptoms at least..heck ..i used to be a medical assistant...so i know better...and i ..like you..get tired of being told just to deal with it all. But i just wanted to let you know that you are not crazy..these are real things that happening and they are from the chemo and radiation and that you are not alone
