Have finished my second course of flofox chemo and suffering from swollen feet and ankles. Anyone elase had this and best course of action thankyou
Hi
You could either chat to your oncologist or your GP they will get it under control for you . My mum gets it from time to time and they put her on a diuretic. She elevates her legs towards the end of the day but it’s one for the medics to help you with !
My mum needs a bit of help with her fluid retention since her liver resection . They will assist you to get it sorted but a few things can cause it so you need your team to sort out exactly what they are treating first !
All the best and hope it resolved quickly !
