Swelling After Chemo?

I’m 17 days out from my last chemo but noticed swelling of my face and hands starting several days ago. Also feeling sinus pressure on and off throughout the day. Has anyone experience the same?

You are so right on. I used to drive into Watts and all kinds of shady places in LA when I worked for the county foster care system. It was terrifying. I was relieved when I left that job not to be scared all the time.

I am so glad it has worked for you. I always enjoy not having to drive in traffic and being able to actually look around on the bus or train. And you have to learn to relax instead of rushing around. I love your description of drivers who "lose their minds". That is the perfect description.

J02. It sounds like one of those things but I am concerned about the face swelling. Can you call a doctor tomorrow? If they aren't concerned hopefully you can at least get some kind of tx that will decrease symptoms. Let me know what's going on. When do you have your next infusion?

J02 .I would be careful of face swelling. It is also a symptom of anaphylactic shock which can be deadly. Face swelling can be a for runner to throat swelling
