Hi there - just wondering if anyone has the above symptoms and indeed to cap it all, the oncologist telephoned to say that the white cell blood count was surprisingly high, considering my husband had chemo on Friday.
Apart from feeling crummy, also has swollen legs and tum, my husband now on antibiotics and has been told that he won’t have the second dose of chemo this Friday.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thank you x
Maybe could be ascites?hoping your husbands infection is treated and he gets his second dose of chemo.
My husband had swollen tummy and legs. He had a drain inserted and 12 litres of fluid taken out. This relieved pressure in the gut and swollen legs went back to normal. Now he has a permanent drain and the nurses come and drain 2 litres every other day. This helps keep him comfortable.
