Hi. Can anyone tell me how long after chemo finished did their fluid retention dissapear?
I can not find any specific information that tells me how long it should take. I finished chemo two wee...
I put on 3kg which was mostly fluid. It did take a while to go away but I found eating apples and watermelon helped. Also do drink lots of water as this actually helps to flush the fluid out. I had radiotherapy after chemo but once my skin healed I went swimming ( with a kick board at first) and this seemed to help get rid of the last of it. The pressure of the water against your skin helps your lymph system to work better. Hope you are more comfortable soon. Deanne xxx
