swollen fingers

My fingers became very swollen throughout chemo and now, 9 months later, they are still swollen and my rings don't fit.  I would like to wear my wedding ring again.  Should I get my rings re-sized or will my fingers eventually go back to normal?

  • Hi Tonya,

    I am on Tamoxifen too so maybe that's it.

    All the best,

  • Hi Cathy.

    Yes,my fingers are swollen too and can't wear my wedding ring.I had chemo 8mths ago but I thought it was from Tamoxifen.Fluid retention is one of the side effects.I think it might be a good excuse for a new wedding ring!
