Welcome to the board. Evidently a lot of people are busy starting their labor day weekend because normally 'introduce yourself' people get answers pretty quick. We all keep our eyes on this area of the forum with the idea of helping the 'newbie.' There have been very few posts today compared to most days.

My treatment was not as severe as your Mother-in-laws and can't give you a comparison. I'm sure someone will come along with some answers.

In the meantime, on the top menu bar of this page, you should go to 'my stuff' 'profile' and then fill out the 'signature' block at the bottom. Check someof the signatures to get an idea of what to put. That way people will know more about your MIL's cancer. Hopefully the swelling will start to go down and she will get some relief.
