Hi,
Not trying to scare you or anything but I know that herceptin can cause heart failure and swelling of the extremities can be a sign of the heart not working properly. I definitely would want a muga before going through with your 3 week dose of herceptin.
Just my opinion and I'm surely not a doctor so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
