my healthy sister started this wild cancer ride on May 1 of this year with blood in her urine. The doctor's say it's a high risk cancer and they have begun treating it with high risk chemotherapy. She had her ureter and 1 kidney removed and has had 1 round of chemo. They will need to adjust her chemo cocktail so it's not stressing her 1 kidney so much. Currently she has gained 25 lbs in just fluid and is very uncomfortable. She needs to keep her sodium level up, electrolytes and potassium so her blood pressure stays in check. She's on Lasix to help pass this fluid. She meets with her oncologist in the morning. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments that could help my sister in this situation? Thanks in advance!
