Re: Water retention on Herceptin
Hi, Ladies:
I got swollen with each chemo, and every time it got worse. ONC said it was Taxotere. But I had my first Herceptin only infusion 5 days ago, my swollen started from day 1 and getting worse. I'm taking 2 pills of Lasix (20 mg each), and the swollen is not under control. Called ONC today, he said I may have to take steroid to get rid of the water. How did you solve this water problem when it got worse? Anyone used steroid or higher dose of Lasix? Which one has less damage? Thanks!
