Brief Answer:
Check KFT

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The fact remains that most of the chemotherapy drugs can cause kidney damage.
I will suggest take a much larger volume of water.
Sometimes after the chemotherapy, a much larger volume is needed.
And of course you will need to check your KFT tomorrow, if the urine output doesn't return.
I have assumed that you are not feeling the pressure to urinate.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
