Looking for someone whose experienced lower leg and feet swelling about 3 weeks after finishing 3rd Docetaxal.
I’m hoping for an idea of how long it might last ???
Oncologist was very hazy on the subject, and although he said diuretics won’t help, I don’t understand why ???
Any experiences welcomed.
It feels like my legs weigh a tonne and I’m going on a post chemo pre radiotherapy holiday in 2 weeks
Hi - I had swelling around my ankles / feet. Slightly different scenario to you I think, mine happened just before round 3, and got worse immediately after round 3. However I was in hospital with an infection straight after 3rd chemo. I saw oncologist a couple of times whilst in hospital. They said it’s fairly common for docetaxel and the fluid would be absorbed by my body over time. I think it took about 4 weeks to clear, and I just made sure I did the normal things of moving regularly and raising my feet at night. Maybe worth speaking to BCN team. Good luck with it and I hope it clears for you soon xx
