I stayed pretty much the same weight through my A/C and Taxol and Herceptin. I was training for the 3 day Koman walk in November so I walked about 30-40 miles a week and never lost any weight. I completed my herceptin year in September and noticed that I dropped maybe 3-4 pounds or so. When I had my pleuradesis, I lost a few more pounds and was probably down a total of 10-12 pounds from the beginning. I noticed during this time that my trunk really had no bulges. I am still down about 10 pounds but since I am back on the herceptin, even though there is no significant weight gain, I once again have bulges on my trunk. I have never had an edema problem in my hands or feet/legs, so I figure this must be some kind of a herceptin thing.
