Millie & Judy: Thanks for your replies. I have been on 37.5mg/day of triamterene for the water retention. I see my Onc. in three weeks. He may decide to boost the triamterene or switch diuretics. I have found that stress at work tightens up the stomach and prevents easy urination even though I only work 6-7 hours per day. I also keep the stomach retention down by watching the salt intake and not overeating. Please let me know what your Docs say. Peace. Dave
