D/W your oncologist: I am sorry with your condition. Unfortunately yes, certain chemo can irritate the vessels and would give you problem if that leaks. What kind of chemo do you get by the way? Unfortunately we can not help you very much without really knowing the type of chemo and most importantly unable to examine you. You should absolutely discuss with your oncologist on how to manage those complication.
