Sorry you are going through this, isn't it enough dealing with breast cancer as it is? I can relate to how you are feeling. I have started Herceptin in late August and already have a rise in my what use to be good blood pressure, plus I developed swelling in my ankles both of which are not great signs. My onc put me on a diuretic and it helped with the swollen ankles but my pressure is still higher than it use to be. I will be going for an echo cardiogram soon and worried like you because I know how important the Herceptin is in helping reduce that chances of a reoccurence. We are always dealing with something it seems. I am praying that this is a minor set back and that once it is dealt with you can resume your final months on Herceptin. I remember reading on here about someone who did have to take a break and then resumed so let's pray this will be the case for you. Good luck.
