Post Kat in the Delta

Has anyone had problems of circulation from Herceptin ? What were your symptoms or how did you know ?
example :
Did you have or/and do you still have fluid retention??
Did you notice a rash? was it red or brown or did it itch???
Did you go to a specialist? If so, HOW WERE/ARE you now being treated?? meds..etc.. kat in the delta

I did have this problem, but since finishing my herceptin treatments Jan. 8th the problem seems to be resolving itself and the rash is disappering.
