Hello: Seeking further information. My husband has been totally pain free for several days now. It's like I'm holding my breath for the next shoe to fall. His new symptom is edema in his lower legs and feet. Is this due to PC or somethng else. Thanks,Taryntige

taryntige, I am glad that your husband is currently pain free. The edema could be caused be the cancer or secondary to the cancer. But it can be caused by a lot of other things such as a weak heart, low blood pressure, etceteras. You should talk to his own medical team about this problem.
