my mother is 77 years old and was diagnosed with inoperable PC November 2012. She has a biliary drain that has been replaced 4 times and has taken Gemzar chemo for the past 3 months. This weekend her legs started to swell and she is feeling congested. She is taking mucinex for the phlegm but what do we do for the swelling in her legs? All the doctor said is this is a typical side effect from the chemo. Her legs feel tight and tingly and looks very uncomfortable. Does anyone have thoughts about the fluid? Do we need to worry about it? Thank you - caregiver13
