What Causes Chronic Swelling In Legs Post Chemotherapy?

I have been having swollen legs for a number of months now and it has progressed to my feet. I can hardly get into my shoes. I have just stopped chemotherapy for bladder CA which didn t work. I am trying to drink more water to stay hydrated, but my eyes are puffy and irritated overnight and I have swollen legs. Is it a case of fluid retention? Marilyn Turner
