Hi Folks

has anyone had a seriously bloated stomach on chemo? I’m on Follfiri for secondary cancer and the bloating isn’t reducing. It’s not painful but quite annoying .

Also on steroids as well for bone pain management. Could that be thee cause?

any thoughts welcome, thanks

Hi Grahamthegreat

It’s worth mentioning to your team . If it’s fluid they can sometimes address that with diuretics or drain some off .

But one to mention to your team . Always good to get ahead of it .

Hope treatment is going well .
