Bloating during chemo? .
I was dxed with Stage 3 Lymphoma 3 months ago. Ihave had 2 RCHOP chemo infusions and even before chemo, I was having a real problem with abdominal bloating. I look 6 months pregnant by 5 pm every day.
Doesn't matter what I do or don't eat/drink, as the day progresses, my belly gets tighter and tighter.
I have battled with constipation and am working on that s/e as it is also quite miserable. Asked the dr and he just shrugged and said "all kinds of s/e's too many to count' and acted like it wasn't a big deal--but I am in a lot of pain.
Also--how in the world can I GAIN weight while on chemo and not eating half what I normally do??
