Please mention the burning eyes to your oncologist BEFORE he gets his next chemo doses if possible (and don't let your husband con you into thinking that it has gone away or is not so bad - let the doctor determine this).

There are many side effects associated with cisplatin and 5FU and this could be one of them. As some side effects are cumulative (get worse with more doses), this might be an important. I have no idea if it actually is a chemo side effect, as only your doctor will be able to give you an idea, but would hate to think that it wasn't mentioned when it should have been.

Good luck next week
