I had swollen ankles and feet most of the time I was on weekly doses of Taxol and Herceptin (6 months). My oncologist wasn't concerned, my Muga was good.
I wondered about heart issues but they didn't think anything of that or other side effects I had and still have.
I slept with lots of pillows under my feet to keep them elevated. wore bigger shoes and sometimes put them in cold water. Avoid salt or cut it out completely.
If a cardiologist has checked her out, it's probably something common to the treatment.
Hopefully someone on this site will have good advice. This site helped "diagnose" the severe pain in my chest as a pericarditis and taking ibuprofen helped cure it. The cardiologist just said he'd check it again in a month!
stay well
