hi, mums just finished her fourth lot of chemo and inbetween her third and fourth one she had a dvt in her leg, for anyone out there having chemo please just keep an eye out for the symptoms of a blood clot which can easily be sorted with blood thinning drugs.

look out for swollen leg especially the calf,

redness

throbbing

sore and hot areas.

hope this helps .
