Re: Water retention on Herceptin
I have a lot of fluid retention. I have swelling in my hands, wrists, face, and my ankles are huge! My eyes are watery because my doctor says the swelling is causing my tear ducts to close. My doctor told me the swelling was due to the Taxotere, but now I am concerned that it may also be from the Herceptin. I finished the Taxotere 4 weeks ago but will be on the Herceptin until October.
