My Dad is going through chemo and radiation, and his whole body is swelling. He is on diuretics, but he is continuiing to swell. His feet are cracking open, bleeding, and can hardly walk.
Is this normal?? Is there anything he can do to help the swelling besides diuretics? Has anyone else had the problem of the whole body swelling? Any info. or advice would be appreciated. Mary Posted on 05/14/08, 01:05 pm |

Mary,
I think you should call the doctor. Sometimes they have to be hospitalized when the swelling is severe. Elizabeth

Hi Mary
When my mom went thru chemo. with ovarian cance her stomach began to swell. She would had it drained several times. But I don't remember her ankles or feet swelling. When I use to work with pt. like this I know the doctor could up their diuretics. I agree with Elizabeth defintly call the doc. they need to know all that goes on with chemo. side effects. Tell your dad to hang in there best of luck carissa
