swollen ankles

Patti:
I also had some swelling in my ankles/lower legs towards the end of my Herceptin. You really should at least make a call to your provider. Edema can be an indicator of something that needs followup. That doesn't mean you will need another medication.
My team counts on me to be observant!!
