@Rachel01 I too had terrible aches and really bad oedema...trunk, legs and my lymph node side. I had weekly taxol. My oncologist believed it was the steroids not the taxol. And the fatigue really got me down. I ended up wearing a compression singlet to help, just shapewear, which helped. It was 2 to 3 weeks before I felt the fluid was gone. Now its just the gradual weight redustribution from the stetoids (yes moon face too) ...and focusing on loosing some for me as I gained heaps. I am glad to read this... as my oncologist and chemo team thought I was quite different. I regularly took panadol osteo to help with pain and only just stopped this..5 weeks on. Make sure you discuss puffy feet with your onc...as the AC can effect heart function. I am on herceptin also so was being monitored and function has temp reduced. Hope things improve soon. Kath x
