Does Eribulin Cause Swelling In Leg?

My father is having chemo (Eribulin) for liposarcoma. He has developed uncomfortable swelling in his legs. A dose of lasix helped. But doctor won t prescribe more because he has only one kidney -and she fears it s too hard on the kidney. Is leg swelling a side effect? He has been checked for blood clots by ultrasound and he was clear, by the way.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

The bleeding you have could be due to implantation bleeding which happens around 8-10 days of fertilization (conception) home pregnancy test turns reliably +ve after 8 days of an expected date of period.

Please go for it after a week to confirm/exclude pregnancy. In case the pregnancy test is -ve again.

You need to undergo investigations to find cause of hormonal imbalance. Consult a gynecologist in that case.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
