Count me in on the water retention. For me it is mostly in my left leg and ankle. I've had 2 leg ultrasounds to make sure it's not a blood clot (it isn't), just yesterday at my Herceptin infusion the onc. and I discussed this as a side effect, nothing to worry about ... but YUCH, I hate the way it looks.
I take a diuretic to help.

all the best
