Hi everyone, I got diagnosed in December. I've heard two chemotherapies. 've got my third one coming up in a wweek, andit's been a really hard struggle until now,
Due to the chemo my kidneys are swollen, has anyone else experienced that?
P.s I'm new never posted before
Hi, am just replying to highlight your post to others. Swollen kidneys sounds very unusual. Did the chemo nurses advise even more hydration in the two days before until a few days after chemo? I hope that someone can offer you advice. There is also the breast cancer nurse helpline with the breast cancer now charity that might be able to give you personal advice
Thank you for replying,
I will speak to the chemo nurses, I have a CT scan on the 16th May to check my kidneys & liver as the readings for that have been high too
