Hello ladies I'm new. I had my original BC in 1997 and last year in June it returned to a lymph node in my chest. In August it spread to my bones mainly pelvis and spine and the latest bombshell a month ago is that it has spread to my lungs.

I have just started on Herceptin and am having side effects that I really didn't expect and actually feel more like I'm having chemo! I am very tired, breathless on exertion and have swelling in my lower legs and feet.

I have just had my fourth dose and it isn't improving did anyone else experience this? Also did you have heart scans before you started your treatment.

Many Thanks

Julia

PS I live in England
