A member asked:
What could cause someone with leukemia to be in the fetal position and swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: There are many reasons for this, all of which deserve a good conversation with your treating team. The disease may make the patient feel poorly, the therapies may do the same, medicines to treat the side effects of chemo as well... Your nurse should be able to be a good resource to discuss these issues with.
