Is it normal to have swollen foot while taking chemotherapy treatment for Mantle Cell lymphoma?
Patient: I have Mantle Cell lymphoma and am being treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy,  my platelets are low (27),  I am having a problem with my foot, it has pained me for a few days, it has now swollen and has bruised an three toes.  The top of my foot is turning red and has a rash - is there anything I can do for myself without the need to consult the hospital hotline Doctor: It is not normal. The cause of swollen foot may be due to infection or lymph channel obstruction  with superadded infection which can be verified by clinical examination. At the moment you can not have further chemotherapy as your platelet count is very low. Report immediately to your doctor if you have rash in the form of bleeding spots on any part of your body.Dr. J. Ticku
