What Causes Severe Cramps In The Legs While Treating Lymphoma?

I have terrible muscle cramps in my legs every night that keep me awake. I was told I needed magnesium, and dehydrated....I drink extra. I had stage 4 lymphoma 2 years ago with very aggressive chemo. Is that some of the reason? My legs are getting weaker. Thanks!!!
