My mum has just finished three months of the delightful capox, and over the past week or so one of her ankles has been swelling - if she elevates it or soaks it the swelling eventually goes down a little. There's no redness or soreness, and we weren't sure if it's because she just hasn't been as mobile as she's been so tired post chemo, or if it's a side effect we weren't aware of. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi Kirsty88
Sorry to hear about your Mum’s swelling.
You have posted on the Anal Cancer forum, is this the cancer your Mum has? if not, there are forums for all types of cancer and I will be able to re-direct you if you confirm back to me.
Will wait to hear from you.
Regards,
Sarah
