What to do to help with swelling from chemo treatments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tell us more: Where in the body do you have swelling? Chemotherapy does not typically cause any swelling unless your veins are affected or you may be taking steroids(prednisone or dexamethasone).Discuss your concern with your oncologist and he/she can find the cause, prevent it and treat it and solve your problem.
