tinner666,
Suprisingly, all incontinence is not made the same way. There is overflow and stress incontinence. The first is due to the bladder unable to empty fully and the other related to weak sphincter tone to keep the urine in fully. I would have your team of doctors inquire about this to determine the best treatment. This problem was probably worsened by the increased fluids she receives while on chemo. Good luck.
