I would like to add another sid...ty for your blog. I would like to add another side effect of chemo: bloating probably from all the hydration. My husband (pleomorphic liposarcoma of rt thigh)gained 20 lbs. This left him miserable. He had 1 dose of lasix in the hospital, but was not allowed any once he left. the dr. said this side effect would dissipate over the next few days after the end of chemo. Other than being tired and having hiccups, it was his only bothersome side effect. I think he is very lucky.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593745683090050150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054382867488956255.post-54169417648887691662009-11-29T08:27:41.200-05:002009-11-29T08:27:41.200-05:00That's an excellent reference -- thanks for sh...That's an excellent reference -- thanks for sharing it with us!Dave Novakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428952739610627774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054382867488956255.post-52953108357079225532009-11-29T01:44:27.727-05:002009-11-29T01:44:27.727-05:00It's so good of you to share your experience, ...It's so good of you to share your experience, Dave!
