My Feet Are Swollen :(

Tomorrow I return to Moffitt for my last round of chemotherapy, and I am ready to go!

I had some worries over the weekend concerning some strange changes in my body that crept in making me wonder if the Chemo treatments are causing damage.

My feet and ankles became swollen and I had a weight gain of three pounds over a couple of days. Wish that I could claim indulgence for the weight, but not the case. Since kidney damage is a known possible side effect from the Chemo cocktails, my mind went immediately there. Paul and I emailed Dr. Conley on Saturday afternoon and he replied by saying we will discuss the situation on Tuesday (tomorrow) when we meet before my scheduled last round.

The good news is that today my swelling is gone and two of the pounds have disappeared when I weighed in. I am hopeful that it was just a reaction that commonly does occur and treatment will go as planned.....I am ready to get this chapter completed.

The next time I blog I will have the answer and so shall all of you  : )
