Hi just wondered if anyone suffered with severe bloating. I’ve completed four rounds of FEC and about to start four rounds of docetaxel. My stomach has swelled that much I feel like I’m six months pregnant and it’s getting to be unbearable. Just wondered if anyone had and if they did anything? Got an appointment with my oncologist next week but thought I’d ask
D71. I'm on a different treatment to you but did suffer bloating after cycle 2 then nothing since. Have a word with your chemo team they should be able to help. Peppermint tea can help but it's not my favourite drink.
Hoe you get it sorted, B xx
