Without knowing exactly what your husband's treatment is, it is difficult to guage if Alex might have had the same thing.
I remember being warned about sensitivity to light and Alex's eyesight definitely declined and I think we blamed cisplatin but it might have been the 5FU.
Alex feels that his eyesight has started to normalise over the last 12 months though.
As others have already suggested, it is important to tell your MO before having another dose, as they may be able to change the type of chemo.
