Each body is different
That is the "beauty" of this disease, as Lyn perhaps would say.
As we notice new oddities and symptoms it is up to each of US to report them to our medical team. If they are stumped, then we have to keep looking for other causes as A.A. mentioned.
Sorry - Rhonda, but your symptoms as a group are new to me and I have known quite a few women on Herceptin and who have liver mets. I am primarily thinking of the swelling and yellowish color. As one who had a large portion of my liver overtaken by mets, it is something I know a little about. I was never yellowish - only a little greyish when my red blood cells were low. The liver mets CAN sneak up and you won't know it until you are very yellow and sick, as happened with Esther and Linda. The swelling sounds like more than just a slight puffiness from chemo or steroids. A person can live with maybe only 10% of their liver if that part is functioning well. Maybe have bile duct checked. Have you had your appendix out yet?? Thinking now of the nausea.
You may be having some kind of allergic reaction. Or picked up a strange virus (there are a lot of those!). Just some quick thoughts. Sure hope you get it sorted out and feel better very soon.
