In addition to decreased heart function also consider poor circulation. Are you less active due to fatique or nausea? Do you find that you are spending more time lying down? If so, you may have decreased circulation in your legs and that can cause swelling when you are sitting or standing for long periods. If you answered yes, try doing alot of stretching excercises to increase blood flow. This should help. But be sure to mention to problem to your onc to rule out anything more serious.
