I was diagnosed and finished multiple surgeries as well as chemo and radiation for stage 3 Colo/Rectal Cancer and currently about to start radiation for Stage 3 Cervical Cancer, however it has been months since I've felt good in addition to how I'm feeling I am blowing up like a balloon from water weight, I just can't seem to find a Dr who will take these serious enough to look into what is causing all this..looking for help!

Finding healthcare providers who truly understand the complexities of post-cancer treatment effects can be incredibly challenging, and the symptoms being experienced deserve proper attention and investigation. Consider seeking out oncology specialists or survivorship clinics that focus specifically on post-treatment care, as they often have more experience with these types of ongoing issues and may be better equipped to coordinate comprehensive evaluations.
