Fluid retention and weight gain

Hi lovely people,

I am having my second dox on Wednesday and I've noticed that apart from all the other horrendous side affects my feet and ankles are constantly swollen which is obviously fluid retention. Is there anything that I can do about this? I have put on a stone since diagnosis and it seems to keep climbing which  sure doesn't help. 
I'm feeling fed up in general at the moment and I'm dreading the next round of horrendous bone pain xx

  • Hi Karli15,

    I wanted to send you a reply as it should mean a few more people see your post - so if others have any advice or experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon. Do of course also discuss this at your next appointment if you can.

    In the meantime, if you'd like to speak to one of our nurses to get their thoughts or advice, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5 - excluding holidays).

    Wishing you all the best,
