Chemotherapy: any retain fluid? Also joint pain question
Person started retaining fluid as a symptom that led to ovarian cancer diagnosis. She started chemo and retained fluid, a lot, 25 lbs. her arms are the worst, can barely move/lift them.
She was put on lasix (by chemo dr then increased by cardiologist) and finally started dropping, but not from upper arms.. Now she is getting another chemo treatment and says her arms are filling up. Any one have experience with this?
Also, joint pain, any one have a suggestion that may help? She wont take anything stronger than advil
