Hi- First let me thank you for this website. I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed 7/14/08 with invasive ductal carcinoma. I am HER pos but not estrogen pos. I am having chemo first and then surgery. Taking THC-once every three weeks and Herceptin every week. Good news is tumor shrunk after first THC treatment. However after the THC treatment and the Neulasta shot I have blood in my urine for a couple days? Has anyone else experienced this- I am worried about the chemo damaging my kidneys. I go for my third THC this Tuesday and will speak to my dr again. I had urinalysis after it happened the second time and xray which showed stones in my ureeter. But I didn't have kidney stone pain and have no history of them.

Ok- sorry this is long but here is last question- do these medicines cause fluid retention or feet swelling?

Thanks so much and take care.
