Suggest Treatment For High BP When Suffering From Liver Cancer
My husband is in stage 4 liver cancer and chemo thearapy no longer is available. He has hi blood pressure and when he did his last round of chemo with Stivarga (very expensive chemo pills) his blood pressure was higher and his family Dr. put him on stronger pills. Well now that he is no longer doing chemo he stopped taking one of the pills and now his 2 ankles are swollen. What should I do? His family Dr. is on holidays till Jan 6/2015. He started taking back the other pill 3 days ago along with the other one he never stopped but no change in his feet. Does this have anything to do with the liver. The oncologist said that there is no other treatment available for him.Cancer is progressing too fast

See, liver cancer in last stage mah not have fruitful outcome. But swelling of legs can be due to various reasons. Recheck the anti hypertensive medicine with doctor. Check blood reports for liver and kidney. If required go for leg vein Doppler too
