Anyone Experience Swelling Of Legs And Feet From Inactivity Due To Fatigue From Chemo? Did Anything Help Besides Exercise?
My husband did and we noticed 2 things: 1) he wasn’t drinking enough water, and 2) he had alcohol for the first time in a while. Drinking more water and not having alcohol helped a lot, as well as keeping his feet elevated.

1. Elevating your legs to reduce fluid buildup
2. Wearing compression stockings to improve circulation.
3. Staying hydrated to prevent fluid retention.

Any kind of movement the idea is not to be sedentary any kind of movement you can do even if it’s vacuuming.
Thank you Nancy996. He doesn't drink alcohol but definitely needs to up his water intake. His Drs. (Primary Care and Oncologist) think it could be cardiac related.
The Doxorubicin He took in his first 4 treatments caused his heart muscle to weaken. Cardiologist appointment in a few weeks.
Yes my wife experience such but we used some natural supplement from Nature Care Health Clinic..it really did help and it was extremely effective
