I have had kidney issues since starting herceptin BUT a birth defect was discovered during a bone scan and that was causing a pocket of fluid to accumulate above my right kidney. I had surgery to correct the problem Aug 5 and I find out on Firday how well the surgery worked. My labs never showed any problems but there was something wrong.

I hope they figure out what is going on. BTW, I think I have had the radio-isotope procedure and it's not fun thanks to the lasix they give. However after everything that you have been thru it's fairly easy.
