Fluid Retention and Diet Suggestions???

Hello All,
My wife (44) had her first chemo treatment (breast cancer) a few weeks ago and is having some swelling and a little numbness in her legs at the moment.

I would appreciate any input in regards to controlling the swelling and whether supplements (vitamins) might help? I read where a high Protein diet or supplement could be beneficial for this and other things?

She is on the TCH regimen (taxotere, carboplatin, herceptin). She goes in for chemo every three weeks, while Herceptin is being administered every week (at this time).

We spoke with the on-call nurse today but as I'm now researching a few things and alternatives...

God Bless,
Ralph
