Re: Water retention on Herceptin
My medical oncologist says the swelling is from the taxotere. However, my last taxotere was 2/10/14 and I am still swollen. I am continuing to get Herceptin every 3 weeks and I think it must be contributing to my water retention. I am puffy everywhere! Wrists, arms, feet, ankles. legs, face... I will be happy when this resolves.
