Hi My dad has terminal esophagus cancer and is now a palliative care patient, doing ok, considering.

A week or so ago, his left foot became swollen and only when laying down his legs hurt real bad from just above the ankles to just below the knees, when sitting down the pain subsides. We went to the GP they were not sure if it was because of the cancer, they are pretty sure it's not DVT.  Has anyone had any experience of this? When walking now dad's left foot is dragging.
