Taking Apofurosemide After Edema And Breast Cancer. Have Pain. Should I Go To Hospital?

I have severe edema and breast cancer and am trying APO FUROSEMIDE, 20 mg. My edema is so bad I cannot walk and i finally begged my doctor for some medication, My kidneys are perfect for a 63 year old like me, I do not drink alchol or use salt on anything and am a strict organic vegan. My breast was removed but there is no treatment for my cancer since I could not tolerate chemotherappy

Oncologist, Surgical 's  Response
Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. Is the edema generalised? This could be due to the metastasis of the cancer or as a side effect of the chemotherapy drugs which you are receiving. You should consult your oncologist immediately for this condition.

Hoping for the best.
