For a brief time after my chemo treatment ended and I started the 3 wk herceptin regimine, I was getting slightly swollen ankles. To ensure it was not my heart I had a echo done which turned out normal. It could have been capillary leakage syndrome from the chemo, but the edema was on the slight side so all I did was watch my salt and elevate my legs and then it cleared up. I have not had it since. I have been off chemo for almost 2 months and have had several treatments of triple dosage herceptin alone.
