Mom Had the Lucentis Treatment Yesterday

Thursday, July 27th, 2006 | Macular Degeneration |

Yesterday afternoon mom went to the doctor for the Lucentis treatment for her macular degeneration. They cleaned around her eye, which was apparently not pleasant, and gave her the injection. She’s feeling a little rough tonight, but she’s willing to put up with anything to save her sight. My brother stayed with her, and Melissa made everyone dinner.

It takes some time for the treatment to take effect. We should have some idea within the next two weeks if it’s working.

UPDATE: Mom felt much better the next morning and wasn’t experiencing any pain. I couldn’t see her eye the first day because she was wearing a cover over it to protect it. I saw it the next day and the white part of her eye is dark red with blood. That’s apparently normal, so don’t be surprised to see that in a friend or relative’s eye.

Hello from Canada.
I live in Montreal and from what I’ve read on your site, it seems my Mom has the same as yours.
My mom is calling her doctor tomorrow, so I’ll know more then. I’m not sure this treatment your mother had is available here in Canada.
Good luck to your Mom….I hope the treatment will help her.
