RE: Swollen legsI think any swelling should be reported to the doctor. Regarding "huge amounts of water," I remember my oncologist telling me he wanted me to drink lots of water but don't "drown myself." I planned to take herceptin every three weeks because my muga score dropped 11 points and I thought it would be easier on the heart. The oncologist told me it wouldn't make a difference and I listened to him this time. I had no trouble with my triple dose except for tiredness the first two days, tingling in hands and feet. I actually measured my ankle circumference with a tape measure and I'm going to check it every week for swelling. MJo
