I had swelling in my ankles and my onc put me on the lowest dose of a diuretic and that took care of it. My echos were all fine. My nephrologist just recently took me off the diazide because my calcium levels were very high. Sure enough, the swelling came back within a few weeks if that. He now has me on a different diuretic that won't increase my calcium levels. I am convinced this all started from the herceptin because I never had problems with swelling in the past. I also now have hyper parathyroidism not to be confused with hyper or hypo thyroidism. Anyone else every have hyperparathyroidism?
