Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion that is due to side effects of your chemotherapy rounds and medication given in your history you may avoid sitting and standing for a long time , ankle support or bandaging with elevation of the ankle , antiedematous drugs will be helpful otherwise i recommend lab investigations to exclude any other underlying causes and visit your physician for proper evaluation and management .
Please click THANK YOU and consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful. Hope the above information helps you,
Any further clarifications feel free to ask.
