My Fibromyalgia has been thru the roof lately due to stress. I am hoping due to the volume of people that are part of this site, some one may be able to help with what I am going to share, because I don't know where else to turn.

Members rallied around a distressed friend seeking information about sudden blindness following cancer surgery, with one member discovering a hopeful medical case study showing complete vision recovery after six months, linked to blood flow issues during surgery. Several members acknowledged they had not personally heard of this complication, though one shared that their father-in-law experienced similar blindness after heart surgery that sadly did not reverse. The conversation reflected deep compassion for both the original poster and their terminally ill friend, with recurring themes of hope, research support, and the comfort of simply being present for someone facing an unimaginable situation.

Omg thank you so much. I am going to take a look at it now. Everything I was able to research as possible reasons said no chance of vision return. I read iithe could be fromore the anesthetic or could be from abnormal blood pressure rate during surgery . I honestly can't thank you enough for takkng time to do some research. Fingers crossed, going to read the link now.

I think it's wonderful that you're doing research to bring your dear friend, hope. Hopes and hugs go a long way! Glad you're there for her. You mention that she has terminal cancer. Have the doctors given her a time line? Do you know what the plan is for the care of her children? Are they giving her any sedatives or pain relief?
