Hi everyone,
Over the last 5 days or so my ankles/legs have been swollen. It is being caused by the nodes in my pelvic region being blocked by the cancer. My oncologist only offered wearing elastic knee-high sox to squeeze the fluid from the lower half of my leg, reducing my sodium intake. He told me to stop taking Lasix as he said the diuretic wouldn't help me in this situation. I am also elevating my ankles at night and as much as I can during the day. Does anyone have any other suggestions of things I can do to reduce the swelling?
Thanks,
