Hi there I was wondering whether any of you have experienced sudden swelling of all their extremities from cll or their treatment ?
My dad has just come home this afternoon
He had treatment day 8 two days ago and was kept in hospital to watch for any bad side effects (he is on his 3rd treatment of his obinutuzumab and ventoclax protocol) he was ok when he left but it’s come on quickly
Has anyone had this side effect?
Thanks for any replies

Hi there - I had Ob and Chlorambucil for 6mts ending March last year. I found that my legs from knees down used to progressively swell and itch a little during the day, and then return to normal over night. This gradually faded away over the next 6 mts or so, and all is now OK. Treatment seems to induce all sort of things, but mostly they seem, in my experience, to be temporary. Good luck! Handley
Thanks for all your comments. The Doctors said that the swelling was a side effect of all the fluids they gave him at his last Infusion. Even though it was 3 days earlier. They have given him diuretics to take to reduce this.
