Does anyone have any help for facial swelling?  I am in month 6 of Avastin, Alimpta, Carbo.  Take Dexamethasone for 3 days every 3 weeks (day before, day of and day after treatment). Each month it is getting worse, along with abdominal swelling - any suggestions would be appreciated.  Already cut out salt and drink lots of fluid (which I don't seem to be shedding).  Hope to hear from fellow survivors.

Dexamethasone is known for causing inflamation like that. You might talk to your Doctor to see about changing to something else.  Good luck, God bless and keep the faith...
