Kelly,

I have the same problem! But mine was doing this somewhat before the chemo.

It seems to be worse, the heavier my weight is. Right now, my weight is worse than ever.

When i get home from work, i try to get my feet propped up as soon as possible. By the morning, the swelling is gone.

Is your swelling ever relieved? Mine is so bad at the end of the work day, i refer to is as my "KANKLE"
