I have been on massive doses of prednisone since feb of last year and am on my third attempt to wean off the meds. Prednisone causes fluid retention and herceptin can have the same effect. So my onc took me off the herceptin because of fluid around my heart. Wants to wait until i'm off the steroids then will hopefully begin herceptin again. That way it will be easier to monitor me. I have severe pulmonary problems due to treatment and herceptin may be making it worse, but dr's can't tell yet due to other drugs.
