Hello, I am new to this site.

Has anyone experienced adverse effects from Herceptin. I've been taking it for several months. In Dec. of '06 I came down with a fever of 103 and was put in the hospital for 2 weeks. Dx was mastitis from radiation tx. I received antibiotics for a horribly swollen and hot breast. The same issue presented again the day after New Years but without fever this time. Back in the hosptial with same tx. In for a week this time. Mind you during this time Herceptin was stopped. Doing fine now and resumed herceptin but last week noticed warm breast again with swelling and pitting this time. Told onc yesterday before tx, he says does not believe its recurrance since they ruled it out in Jan after stay in hospital. Maybe due to herceptin. Put me on lasix for a few days to see if any relief. Am I paranoid?
