Retaining fluid with the VDT-PACE Chemo August 26 2011

I weighed 147 pounds on admision and almost instantly jumped up to 155 pounds withing the first 12 hours of the VDT-PACE Chemo Regieme. They have given me Lasix twice. The first time was 20 mg and my weight came down to 153.7 pounds. Then, around 5 PM today, August 26 2011 they gave me 40 mg of Lasix . I really put out a lot of urine until about 10 PM and then it slowed down. My feet and ankles are not swollen with the extra fluid. I seem to be retaining it in my face and thorax. My eyes are just slits early in the morning.
