Adema and Herceptin
Hi,
Has anyone had problems with Adema while on Herceptin? I will be having my 10th treatment this week (every 3 weeks) and have noticed for several months the swelling in my legs, ankles and feet. I have had 2 Muga Scans; the last one being about 57.5 (Sept. 07). When walking I do get out of breath easily, but scans for lungs were ok also. I dont share my side effects with the dr, I always feel like I am whinning so keep complaints to myself. I have gained quite a lot of weight since beginning Chemo last year so am not sure if its just the weight gain causing the fluid retention or something else. How is Adema treated? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
