Having severe swelling in my lower and upper legs following round 3 of Taxotere/Cytoxin. Considering not doing my last round. Anyone have experience with swelling and did it subside after treatment?

This sounds like a really challenging situation to navigate during treatment, and it's completely understandable to have concerns about continuing when experiencing uncomfortable side effects. Many community members have shared experiences with various side effects from chemotherapy, and discussing this decision with your oncology team would be the best way to explore your options and get guidance specific to your treatment plan. Hopefully others here can share their experiences with similar side effects to help you feel less alone in this decision.
