Well on 12/11/11 and after seeing my radiation Dr, she put me in the hospital to run a lot of test to find out why now both arms and both feet are swollen and I can barely walk 30 feet without being winded. After many test they decided it was time to drain the fluid from under both my lungs and they got a lot out of there. See picture below, that is just from the right lung, which had the most fluid built up. I was on lasik IV for the 3 days I remained in the hospital and lost 15 lbs of water weight. No wonder I couldn't breathe and had zero energy. They finally released me at 5pm on Sunday 12/13/11. I feel much better and am hoping this side effect from the chemo does not continue for much longer. They also tested the fluid they drained and no cancer cells. So that was an Awesome feeling to get a good result.
