Hi. I had a NET in my liver that caused uncontrollable high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, severe anemia, and extreme swelling in my feet and ankles. The swelling was unlike swelling seen in allergic reactions or other causes. I could not walk or drive; the swelling was so bad, you could hardly see my toes and even my husband's shoes were too small. Some of my torso and my face were swollen but not to the extreme degree of my feet and ankles. I used pressure stockings, I used massage guns, had physical therapy at home. I did not see any real results. I had Y90 nuclear beads procedure on the NET April 28, 2024. On May 5, 2024, the swelling in my feet and ankles left and did not come back; the other effects of the tumor, including the diabetes, left. I write this in hopes that treatments for the liver might also lead to some relief to you from the ankle and feet swelling.
