- Josephine66MemberThanks, i had chemo today and both oncology nurse and doc were surprised how bad it is. I drink a lot of water. Exercise when i can, i suffer a lot of muscle swelling and bone pain together with fatigue. Ill get watermelon tomorrow
- Kiwi_AngelMember@Josephine66 I had it badly after my second round of chemo but not so much this time for some reason. I have been eating lots of watermelon which helps with fluid retention. Can be a side effect of the Dex and the chemo unfortunately.
- ZoffielMemberMmmm. It's a thing. I don't know there is much you can do about it apart from keep your water consumption up and try to get a little bit of exercise. The steroids don't help. Getting all puffy and bloated seems to be part of the process for those who don't drop half their body weight in a couple of weeks.
